Here are some common tankless water heaters questions:
What is a tankless water heater?
Unlike traditional water heaters, tankless ones only heat water as demand, thereby supplying a continuous flow of a hot water.
Can it be installed in the same place as my old water heater?
Yes. They are compact and easy to install, and can be placed into a utility room, garage, basement or other room. They are mounted onto a wall to avoid taking up useful space.
Do they have lower operation costs?
Most have an Energy Factor of .82, while tank water heaters have a .65 EF. A higher EF is one reason why tankless ones cost much less to operate.
Do they work well with hard water?
It’s recommended hard water be softened or filtered, as lime scale can build up in lines with hard water.
Can they be installed in a mobile or manufactured home?
Unfortunately, most can’t and if they are, the warranty tends to be avoided.
