Tankless Hot Water System

Tankless hot water system can supply an endless supply of hot water, and can save you energy since they do not have standby losses like storage type water heaters.

Energy is saved by Tankless Water System

Tankless hot water heaters save energy and thus money.  Water heating accounts for up to 20% or more of an average household’s annual energy expenditures. The yearly operating costs for conventional gas or electric storage tank water heaters average $200 or $450, respectively.  This places the monthly savings at about $3.00 to $9.00 a month. 

Point of use tankless water heaters

In the past tankless water heaters were usually used as "point of use" heaters.  Point of use water heaters operate more efficiently than whole house water heaters since there is only a short distance between the heater and the fixture.  This eliminates the piping losses and reduces the hot water used each time a use occurs.  With a long pipe, when you finish using hot water you have also "used" all the hot water left to cool in the pipe.  You paid for the energy to heat that water.

Point of use installations use smaller heaters since they don't have to supply more than one fixture at a time.  The smaller installations are much less expensive than whole house water heaters. 

Whole house tankless water heaters

Saving money with a whole house tankless water heater is much more difficult due to the higher cost of installation.  Typically whole house gas tankless heaters need substantially larger flues, and often they must be stainless steel. Chances are you will also need to have a larger than normal gas pipe. Even though they burn gas to heat the water, they have electronic controls, so in the event of a power outage you will not be able to get hot water...something to think about.

Electric whole house tankless water heaters require a huge amount of electricity to operate. Standard house wiring will not usually be acceptable, and you will have to run a dedicated electrical service line to the heater. This can be quite expensive.
