What Exactly Is a Tankless Water Heater?
Tankless water heaters (also known as instantaneous water heaters) is a unit that provides hot water only as and when it is needed. They heat water directly, without the use of a storage tank. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit which is then heated by either a gas burner or an electric element. As a result, tankless water heaters can deliver a constant supply of hot water to any faucet in your home. While they do have a lesser flow rate than water tanks, you don’t need to sit around waiting for a water tank to heat up or refill.
Why Install a Tankless Water Heater?
A tankless water heater is a functional alternative to the traditional hot water tanks found in most households. If you have a lot of people living under the same roof such as a family home or student accommodation, you may find that the hot water often runs out. However, with a tankless water heater, you’ll find that you always have hot water available.
A tankless water heater isn’t only functional in busy homes, but also cost-effective.
