What is a Tankless Water Heater? | A Plumber’s Quick Guide to Tankless Water Heaters

Jim breaks down everything you need to know about a tankless water heater, from the brands to installing to maintenance to rebates.

A tankless water heater heats water only when you need it. They are also referred to as on-demand water heaters. A tank water heater keeps the water continuously heated, when it are using it or not, therefore tankless water heaters use less gas for heating. The higher efficiency of tankless water heaters and their long lifespan, make them the preferred option for water heating by plumbers.
