Since most are still converting to tankless water heaters in Los Angeles, there are many general questions people have about how they work and if they’re a better product than their traditional tank water heaters. Here are our most frequently asks questions about Tankless Water Heater products & installation:

How exactly does a tankless water heater work?

In the simplest terms, a tankless unit heats water only when it’s needed, as opposed to a traditional tank heater where limited amount of water sits 24/7 waiting to be used. With a tankless unit, once you turn the water, it is heated as it passes through a flow sensor, instantly heating the water to the temperature you set.

Will I save on energy costs after a tankless water heater installation?

Yes. A tankless water heater will cut your energy usage by 10 to 15 percent. The U.S. Department of Energy says that you can save well over $100 annually by switching to a tankless water heater.

Where can I install a tankless water heater?

Pretty much anywhere. A tankless unit can be installed in the same place as your old water, or they can be installed in a closet or small utility room. You will have to vent the room where the heater is located. A tankless water heater can even be installed on the outside of your home where you won’t have to vent it.

A traditional storage tank is built to last only eight to ten years, while a tankless water heater – made from stainless steel and copper – is made to last 15 to 20 years.
