Offer continuous flow hot water on demand within the flow rate constraints of the manufacturer make and model and the temperature rise considerations associated with your geographic area and your household needs.
Have been found to perform 24 percent to 34 percent more energy efficiently than storage tank water heaters with further efficiency improvements possible as the technology continues to advance in the future.
May offer more benefits in their convenience and longevity, than in their potential dollar savings, when calculated across their complete lifecycle costs for installation, operation, and maintenance.
Are designed to last for 20+ years with modular designs that may offer easier servicing and replacement of parts versus storage tank water heaters.
Typically require annual lime and scale removal maintenance in Florida due to our water quality.
Can be installed indoors or outdoors depending on the location opportunities provided by your home’s plumbing and natural gas piping system designs.
“Instantaneous” AND “Limitless” Hot Water
One of the most important benefits of tankless designs is their use of energy only to heat water as needed, rather than keeping a 30-gallon to 50-gallon reservoir of water hot 24 hours a day. This instantaneous, hot water on demand can be supplied continuously without limit so long as the energy supplied to heat the water is continuous. Of course in reality, both the instantaneous and limitless concepts are somewhat inadequate (see the disadvantages section).
