Tankless water heaters (also called “on demand” units) use a heat source (electric or gas) to warm up the cold water on-demand whenever you need it. A Tankless hot water heater start working when you turn on the hot water tap.
Most tankless water heaters work by burning natural gas or propane, sending cold water through a heat exchanger, but there are some models can use electricity as well.
Traditional water heaters store and preheat 30-50 gallons of water in a tank. That preheated water is used whenever someone takes a shower, does the laundry or washes dishes. Then the tank refills to be reheated once again.
If the idea of constantly heating the water in a big tank located in your basement sounds inefficient and wasteful to you, then a tankless water heater may be the right option for your home. Call Aire One now for more information and a FREE assessment: 310 4328.

For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, demand (or tankless) water heaters can be 30%–40% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters, saving a typical family about $100 or more per year, depending on water usage.
According to Natural Resources Canada, “An ENERGY STAR certified tankless water heater uses 30% less energy, on average, than a hot water tank. It saves money and reduces your carbon footprint.”
