How Does a Tankless Water Heater (on-demand water heater) Work?

Tankless water heaters, also called instantaneous or on-demand water heaters, work to heat water immediately as it is used instead of storing a full tank of hot water at all times. The tankless water heater unit is compact and hangs on a wall, taking up less space than a regular hot water tank. When a hot-water tap is turned on anywhere in the home, cold water goes into the tankless unit where it is heated immediately by either a gas burner or electric element, then it is fed into the plumbing system and comes out hot at the tap.

We are very grateful for our service today with Keegan. We received updated texts for when to expect his arrival which was helpful. He explained what we was going to be doing for our furnace, water heater, and A/C unit. He relayed information in a way that your average homeowner (myself included) could understand and that was really refreshing. He showed us how to maximize our heating efficiency, better use our thermostat, and prolong the life of our appliances. We have a plan for future services in the spring and are happy to now have a maintenance schedule. We were very impressed with Keegan's professionalism, kindness, and knowledge. We would hands down recommend John Sadler Plumbing and Heating. Thank you, Keegan!

We've relied on John Sadler Plumbing & Heating for years, and they have never let us down. They have replaced our furnace and installed our A/C. When our when our hot water tank failed (when we were away from home!) they were the first ones we called and they handled the replacement quickly. Their whole team is amazing, friendly and dependable. It's rare to find a company you can trust this much. Highly recommended.

Keegan is a nice pro to fix my leaking gas line very professionally and efficiently and effectively. He addressed the issue very fast and very informative to get me explained what’s happened over there. After the job done, he also helped to reignite the fireplace and furnace as well as water tank. He even trained me and helped me to recall how to ignite the fireplace myself. David

What are the Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater (on-demand water heater)?

Green Choice

Traditional hot water tanks use energy constantly to keep the water stored inside hot at all times. A tankless water heater only heats water as you use it. Because a tankless heater can heat water immediately, it does not need to use energy all day every day the way that hot water tanks do, but instead only heats water when you turn on the faucet.

Saves Money

Although tankless water heaters are more expensive to buy than hot water tanks, they will save you money on your energy bill in the long run. This is because they only use energy when hot water is being used, whereas tanks use energy 24/7 in order to store water at a high temperature.

Small-Space Friendly

Many people like tankless water heaters because they take up so much less space than a hot water tank. Generally, you don’t need more than about the size of a broom closet to install your tankless water heater. This makes it a great choice for residents of apartments, condominiums, or houses that do not have a basement.

Unlimited Hot Water

Tankless water heaters give you an unlimited supply of hot water because they heat the water on demand. While conventional hot water tanks can only supply the amount of hot water that fits in the tank at one time, tankless models heat the water immediately as it is being used, so you can take as long of a shower as you want.

Longer Lasting

Tankless water heaters last longer than conventional hot water tanks. This is in part because, without having to store water, there is less likelihood of corrosion. Most tankless models also have replaceable parts, so often you can repair your water heater rather than replace the whole thing when issues arise. With regular professional maintenance, a tankless water heater should stay in good condition for around 20 years.

Tankless Water Heater FAQs

Is installation of a tankless water heater complicated?

Yes, installing a tankless unit is more complex than replacing a traditional tank heater. It often requires proper venting, gas or electrical adjustments, and should be done by a licensed plumbing professional.

Do tankless water heaters save space?

Yes, tankless units are significantly more compact than traditional tanks and can be wall-mounted. Their smaller footprint frees up utility room or basement space for other uses.

Are tankless water heaters compatible with well water?

Yes, tankless water heaters can work with well water, but water quality matters. Mineral content may require additional filtration or maintenance to prevent scale buildup inside the unit.

Are tankless water heaters more efficient than traditional heaters?

Yes, tankless water heaters are generally more energy-efficient because they only heat water when needed. They avoid the energy waste associated with keeping a large tank of water hot all the time, which can lower utility bills.
