Tankless Hot Water Heaters

Water heaters consume a big chunk of a household’s energy expenditure because heating water is an everyday activity for every household. When a water heater is broken, it’s important to find a solution that’s dependable and cost-effective.

But now, a new kind of water heater can lower your energy consumption and cut your bill drastically. It’s the tankless water heater. This unconventional water heater can bring you the hot water you want anytime.

Let’s compare. It usually takes an hour for a traditional water heater to heat up all of the water contained in the tank. Unlike tankless hot water heaters, the water is heated before it goes through the faucets or shower heads using the heat exchanger technique. The water is not heated in volume making tankless water heaters 22% more cost efficient than the traditional water heater fueled by gas.

On average, a normal household daily consumes an estimate of 76 to 80 gallons evident in the use of a dishwasher after meals, washing heaps of laundry, running faucets to about 9 to 11 times, and using the shower 3 or 4 times.
