More Information About Tankless Water Heaters

A Tankless Water Heater is like a short-order cook who cooks just what you want when you want it - no waiting.  A conventional storage water heater is like a cafeteria where the food is already prepared and sitting in steam tables.  It takes more energy to keep the food hot on the steam tables while it sits.  It still takes each diner the same amount of time to go back and forth from table to food, just as it still takes the same amount of time (and water) for the hot water to reach your sink or shower, whether you have tankless or storage.

The benefits of Tankless Water Heaters:

• Never run out of hot water again!

• Tankless water heaters eliminate the cost of continuously heating water.

• Tankless water heaters use less energy than conventional hot water heaters with storage tanks.
