For some of you reading this article, it may be the first time that you’ve ever even heard of a tankless water heater. They are just now starting to catch fire in the United States (no pun intended). They have been popular in Europe and Asia for decades, though. The first time I went to Asia, I remember thinking how crazy the idea was, because in my mind, there was no way a little unit like that could produce the amount of hot water that conventional water heaters could. The fact is, I was dead wrong. Here’s why:

Tankless water heaters produce hot water essentially on demand. When you turn your faucet on hot, that’s when the heater kicks on, so it’s heating the water right before it comes out of the faucet. Traditional water heaters heat water that sit in a tank. Sometimes water sits in the tank so long, that the heater actually has to reheat the water before it’s used. As you can see, tankless water heaters are much more efficient and save on energy, which drives down utility bills. (Tankless water heaters are up to 50% for efficient than traditional water heaters. Since water heating is about 20% of the average utility bill, the savings can be quite significant).

There are a few different types of tankless water heaters. One is called “point of use,” which is generally used for one bathroom or one kitchen, etc. and is stored it a cabinet in that room (they are quite small). The second kind is a little bit larger (but still significantly smaller than a traditional water heater), and can be used to heat water for the whole house, and are powered by either electricity or natural gas.

Tankless water heaters are quite a bit more expensive to buy than traditional water heaters, but if you buy one, you may qualify for a $300 Federal tax cut. That combined with the money you would save on your energy bill, tankless water heaters are well worth looking at when considering a water heater for your home.
