INSTANTANEOUS & TANKLESS WATER HEATING SYSTEMS


If you are looking for long term solutions that will save you energy while providing a healthier solution to water  heating then a tankless water heater may be exactly what you are looking for. They may cost more up front to purchase and install but the long term savings will more than pay for their intial costs over and over again.

Their popularity stems from their efficient and miserly use of natural gas. Since this type of water heater only uses gas when the hot tap is turned on there are no standby costs. The standby cost to water heaters with tanks are the cost in energy and dollars to keep 400 to 600 pounds of water hot and ready for you to use all the time. Even when you are sleeping, at work, or at the cottage they are still using energy and your hard earned money keeping hot water on standby. The water heater is burning away waiting for you to use some hot water. Sounds crazy don't you think. And why waste a non-renewable resource like that? It makes no sense.

Tankless water heaters are also more efficient than a standard tank type water heater. The more efficient design of the tankless water heater "heat exchanger" transfers the heat of the flame faster to the water. Heating the water with amazing speed - in fact it heats up the water as fast as the water runs - without having to store that hot water using up endless amounts of electricity or gas.

The traditional hot water tank has another down side - over time the bottom a standard water heater will build up with scale (a white chalky residue left over from the impurities in the water). This scale acts as an insulator between the flame and the water making it harder to heat the water thus using even more energy for a system that will continue to deteriorate in efficiency over time.


A properly installed tankless heater will have special piping connections to permit regular cleaning of the heat exchanger (thus preventing scaling). This way the operating efficiency of the unit can be maintained over a long period of time. Tankless water heaters are designed to last approximately 20 years. You won't see a tank type last that long. Today's standard tank type heaters last only 10 - 12 years and throughout their life their operating efficiency falls to a dismal 50%.

A traditional hot water tank may be less expensive to buy in the beginning but in the long run they cost you more money in hydro, gas, water, and replacements.

At a time when everyone is concerned with saving our natural resources the tankless water heater is a perfect solution to keeping our luxuries while saving our dwindling resources.
