The tankless water heater is up to
50 percent more energy efficient than a traditional
natural gas water heater and up to 70 percent more efficient
than an electric water heater. Unlike antiquated hot
water tanks that heat and reheat the same water 24 hours
a day, tankless water heaters on-demand water heater
technology is more efficient because it only heats water
when it is needed. When a hot water source is opened,
it senses the demand and starts delivering continuous
hot water. When the hot water source is closed, the
tankless water heating unit shuts off. That means no
more heating water when you don’t need to.
Exclusive to the tankless water heater
is a digital control pad installed separately from the
wall-mounted heating unit, allowing users to control
the temperature of their water for various needs around
the home. Once the temperature is set, the tankless
water heater constantly delivers hot water at that desired
temperature. This feature has great utility in households
with small children and seniors to help prevent scalding
accidents.
The
tankless water heater also offers flexibility in its
wall-mounted locations. Should the user prefer to mount
the unit indoors, it safely uses no indoor make-up air
and vents directly to the atmosphere. Because it is
roughly the size of a breadbox, and can be mounted on
the exterior of a home freeing up valuable floor and
closet space. The unit can be placed in a recessed box,
flush-mounted and painted or textured to match the exterior
of the home. If you’re in the market for a water heater
or looking for a replacement for your worn out hot water
tank, make the move to the tankless water heater today.
