Tankless Water Heaters

Summary: Tankless water heaters provide hot water only when you need it.Why heat water when you don’t need it? Save energy.

Water heaters are the second largest energy user in your house. Only home heating and air conditioning systems consume more energy.

Because we want hot water on demand, water heaters must first heat water, and then hold it in a water heater, on standby for 90% of the day (or more), keeping the water hot, until someone in the house needs it.

What a waste of hot water and energy!

Unless you install a Hot Water Recirculation System, you are part of this shameful waste.

Is there a solution? Yes!

Tankless Water Heaters heat only the amount of water you need, only when you need it.

Both gas tankless water heaters and electric tankless water heaters are available.

Here’s a Rheem electric model, which in my opinion is a good name in water heaters, that I found retailing for around $500, but found on Amazon for $228.

Of course, prices will have changed by the time you read this. At the bottom of the page is a video on Tankless Water Heaters.
