Tankless Hot Water Heaters

When it comes to water heaters, using one with a tank is all fine and good but not so much efficient anymore. Today’s heaters are brilliant and can heat water up instantly once warmed up. The beauty of this unit is that you aren’t limited to how much water the tank can hold because there isn’t one! The unit is self sufficient and heats water as it comes in through the water source (comes in cold and is forced out hot!). You only heat up as much as you use so there is no wasted energy either!

More households than ever are starting to switch over to this type of water heater for the convenience of it. You can get a system that will work with your entire household or you can get individual units that plug into sinks and can be mounted. Portable tankless hot water heaters are also great as they can bring the comforts of home to the campsite, bring a hot water shower anywhere from the back yard to an animal washing station you can pick up and move anywhere (anywhere with a water tap that is).

Many people are even using these units as a portable way to clean hard to clean floors in auto shops (using hot water and degreaser soaps do wonders!). This technology is relatively new but utilizes some old school mechanics to make it work. It is an efficient system but if you have your home set up i.e. showers, sinks, and other areas with this unit which utilizes electricity (the portable units use batteries and propane) and gas, it can be convenient but if used too much (long showers in 3 different bathrooms every day etc…) then it can end up costing more. Using a propane or natural gas fuel to heat up the water is optimal and cost effective.

Finding out more about this wonderful device is easy. You can go to your local home improvement store and ask the sales associates about them, often you can buy a wide variety of different types, sizes, and models there or you can go online and often have a bigger and better selection (you may even pay less!). Often the stores have a wider selection online and will let you order online and ship to the store free!
