Discovering there’s not enough hot water can be frustrating and inconvenient. However, if this is a regular occurrence, the household may benefit from a tankless water heater. These units are not a novelty anymore, and the technology has seen innovations over the years. Still, not everyone is familiar with how a tankless water heater works.
Simply put, a tankless water heater provides an endless supply of hot water without storing water. Unlike conventional water heaters, the tankless units heat water on demand whenever needed. Whenever the hot water is turned on, cold water travels through the pipes and is deposited into the tankless water heater, where it’s heated. It then flows to the faucet or showerhead.
Tankless water heater units differ, but they provide anywhere between two and five gallons of water per minute—this is referred to as the GPM flow rate. Tankless water heaters are available in two versions in terms of size and flow rate:
Point-of-use tankless water heaters are smaller units that typically fit into a cabinet or closet and serve only one faucet or shower.
Whole-house tankless water heaters can handle much higher demand and connect to other water sources in the house.
When choosing a suitable tankless water heater for the home, homeowners should consider the needs of each member of the household and the groundwater temperature. Las Vegas and other areas with warm climates will have higher groundwater temperatures. This means the tankless water heater won’t work as hard to provide a consistent hot water supply.
A unit’s lifespan varies depending on use and manufacturer, but they can reliably deliver hot for over twenty years.
Finally, when choosing to install a tankless water heater or replace the old unit, it’s imperative to hire a reliable and experienced contractor as it’s not something anyone should try on their own.
TYPES OF TANKLESS WATER HEATERS
NON-CONDENSING
The non-condensing tankless water heater represents the original tankless technology and relies on a basic heat exchanger to deliver hot water on demand. The Efficiency Factor (EF) range is between 82 and 85, and typically provides enough hot water for a household. These units are widely used in Europe and Japan and have shown very few performance issues over the years. However, one of the downsides of this type is that it requires homeowners to install stainless steel venting, which can be costly.
CONDENSING
The condensing tankless units have two heat exchangers—primary and secondary. The second exchanger continues to heat water using the exhaust from the primary exchanger, thus increasing the efficiency range by nearly 95%. A significant advantage of a condensing tankless water heater is that it doesn’t require expensive steel venting since the more affordable PVC performs well.
CONDENSING HYBRID
The third generation of tankless water heaters is a condensing hybrid. The main difference between a hybrid model and the other two types is that it does have a small tank that stores up to two gallons of water and increases the unit’s overall efficiency. It ensures that a small amount of hot water is always available for shorter draws. The Efficiency Factor is between 93 and 96, and they are the perfect solutions for homes with variable hot water needs.

ADVANTAGES OF TANKLESS WATER HEATERS
- A tankless water heater offers long-term cost and energy savings as they don’t have to maintain a supply of hot water. They can be up to 50% more energy efficient than tank-style water heaters.
- Naturally, having hot water available whenever a member of the household needs it is a huge advantage and one of the main reasons many choose to make such an investment.
- Tankless water heaters are great for smaller homes with limited storage space. They can be tucked away in a closet or mounted on a wall.
- There is far less risk of water damage caused by mineral build-up with tankless water heaters. They are far less prone to leaks and are generally long-lasting.
- Tankless water heaters don’t have pressure and temperature relief valves, which means they are not apt to burst.
- Purchasing and installing a tankless water heater means homeowners are less likely to become exposed to toxic metals or be burned. The lack of mineral build-up means toxins can’t leak into the water supply. Furthermore, because they don’t have to maintain a hot water supply, there’s less risk of burning the skin.
- Tankless water heaters have an incredibly long lifespan, especially when compared to conventional units. They can last upwards of twenty years and perform efficiently with regular maintenance.
ADVANCEMENTS IN TANKLESS WATER HEATER TECHNOLOGY
The first electric tankless water heater was invented in 1929, but the technology was too expensive for it to become commonplace in households of the time. However, in the last 30 years, tankless water heaters have become increasingly popular solutions for people who want hot water on-demand and are ready to invest in this type of solution.
There have been many upgrades to the original tankless unit over the years. Today’s modern, on-demand water heaters have seen some exciting advancements that may be exciting to homeowners.
The most significant innovation revolves around energy efficiency. Although a tankless water heater is more expensive than traditional units, they are infinitely more efficient and cost-effective overall. The condensed tankless water heater models have a second heat exchanger that utilizes the exhaust from the primary to be more efficient.
Another significant advancement in tankless water heater technology is a recirculation pump. Unfortunately, even the most efficient water heater requires waiting for about fifteen seconds before hot water comes out of the faucet. However, a recirculation pump cuts down on the wait time and can be activated with a push button, smartphone, or other types of smart devices.
Some tankless water heater units have Wi-Fi compatibility and a designated app that helps homeowners track the electricity or gas expenditure and how much water the water heater has processed.
