Tankless water heaters have been around for decades and are in every corner of the civilized world. In years past they were expensive and not too efficient, but over the years technology has improved to where they can be used instead of conventional water heaters. They are now much more efficient than older models used to be.
Smarter Heating Technology
The amount of heat these units provide is now varied according to the quantity of water needed. On-demand water heaters can now sense the amount of warm water being utilized and alter the heat to accommodate the need. That means less fuel is used for reduced usage, which in turn saves money. This variable heat also ensures you don’t waste warm water under heavy demand when you consider that the best gas-fire on demand water heater can deliver a heavy flame on demand.
Additional Heating Features
Features like external thermostats can help you dial in the perfect balance of temperature vs. the cost of heating water. Some models of tankless water heater are able to be joined together if you find you need a larger capacity. This is great and enables you to always have enough hot water as your family grows. This feature also allows for bigger applications such as apartment buildings or other dwellings where demand is high.
