What a Tankless Water Heater Is

A tankless water heater heats water directly as it flows through a heat exchanger without the need for a storage tank. When a hot water tap is opened, cold water travels through the unit and is heated on demand, providing continuous hot water.

Tankless systems can be powered by gas or electricity and are known for their compact size, energy efficiency, and longer lifespan compared to traditional tank water heaters.

Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters in San Jose

Tankless water heaters are rated based on how much they can raise water temperature from cold input to desired output.

Gas tankless units often provide higher flow rates for larger homes, while electric units may be ideal for smaller spaces.

Tankless Water Heater Installation San Jose

Did you know that tankless water heaters have a longer life span than tank water heaters? If appropriately maintained, this type of water heater could last up to 25 years.

Tankless water heaters warm up water instantly without a storage tank attached. A part of the reason they last so long is because they only heat water as you need it. With a tank, its goal is to ensure that your water stays hot all day. A tankless heater allows you to save energy, and it guarantees an endless supply.

Imagine the advantages. The days of waiting for the shower to get warm will be over. More importantly, the horror of realizing you’re out of hot water right after you’ve lathered shampoo into your hair will be a thing of the past. Perhaps best of all, if you’re the last one in line for the shower, you can still look forward to some luxury.
