What are Tankless Water Heaters?
Tankless water heaters; A.K.A. “on demand water heaters” are becoming more common place in residential installations in and around Central Illinois.
Be aware that these are sometimes called instantaneous heaters. However, when you turn the faucet on, it will take time for the hot water to advance from the unit, through the pipe system,
to the point of use, unless a storage/circulating system has been installed.
There are many advantages to tankless water heaters:
- Less space required
- Endless hot water
- Energy savings
- Not storing 40-50 gallons of water
around valuables - Federal Tax Credit.
Please see appropriate links for more information about tankless water heaters:
When considering a retro-fit, or upgrade from a tank to tankless unit, many items need to be considered; Vent system (if gas), circuit breaker size, gas supply size, 110v electrical circuit (for circuit board operation), where you want to place the water heater, and water quality.
