What is A Tankless Water Heater?

A tankless water heater, also known as an on-demand water heater or instantaneous water heater, is a type of water heating system that heats water only when it's needed. Unlike traditional water heaters with storage tanks, tankless water heaters do not store hot water for later use.

When you turn on a hot water tap in your home, cold water enters the tankless water heater through an inlet pipe. As the cold water flows through the unit, it passes over a powerful heat exchanger, which rapidly heats the water to the desired temperature using either gas burners or electric heating elements.

The tankless water heater delivers a constant supply of hot water as long as the tap remains open. This eliminates the need for a storage tank and ensures that you never run out of hot water.

The Pros & Cons of Tankless Water Heater

Compared to traditional tank water heaters, tankless water heaters offer several advantages. However, they are not right for every home. You will want to carefully consider the hot water needs of your family, as well as various other factors when determining whether to install a new tankless water heater or replace your traditional water heater with a tankless option.

Generally speaking, tankless water heaters are not ideal for households that use a large quantity of hot water every day. However, for most standard households, tankless water heaters offer numerous benefits, including long-term energy and cost savings. Often, this benefit alone is enough to entice homeowners to switch to modern, energy-efficient tankless water heaters. 

At Robison, we can walk you through all of the various pros and cons of tankless water heaters, as well as their traditional tank-based counterparts. Our service technicians provide honest, professional recommendations and advice based on their extensive experience in the industry. We will never try to sell you a product or service that we do not truly believe you need and could benefit from.

Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for My Home?

A tankless water heater can be a great option for many homes, but whether it's right for your home depends on various factors. Here are a few things to consider:

  • Tankless water heaters are known for their ability to provide endless hot water on demand. If your household has a high demand for hot water, such as multiple showers running simultaneously or frequent use of hot water appliances, a tankless water heater can be a suitable choice.

  • Tankless water heaters are much smaller in size compared to traditional water heaters with storage tanks. If you have limited space in your home, a tankless water heater can be a space-saving solution.

  • Tankless water heaters are generally more energy-efficient than traditional water heaters. They only heat water when it is needed, which eliminates the standby heat loss associated with storage tanks. This can result in lower energy bills over time.

  • While tankless water heaters offer long-term savings, they tend to have a higher upfront cost than traditional water heaters. Consider your budget and weigh the initial investment against the potential long-term energy savings.

  • Depending on your home's existing plumbing setup, installing a tankless water heater may require some modifications. It's essential to consult with a professional plumber to assess your home's suitability for a tankless system.

  • Tankless water heaters can struggle to deliver hot water at high flow rates in colder climates. If you live in an area with very cold incoming water temperatures, you may need a larger-capacity tankless water heater or a hybrid solution
