How Tankless Water Heaters Work

Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, operate without the need for a traditional storage tank. Instead of maintaining a reservoir of hot water, these systems heat water only when you need it. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water flows through a heat exchanger inside the unit, where it is instantly heated by either a gas burner or electric heating element. The result is an uninterrupted stream of hot water—no waiting, no running out.

This design makes tankless systems far more efficient than conventional units that constantly reheat stored water. With flow rates typically ranging from 2 to 5 gallons per minute, tankless water heaters can easily meet the needs of smaller households. Larger homes or families may require multiple units or strategically placed point-of-use heaters to ensure consistent performance across multiple fixtures.

Pros and Cons of Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters offer a range of benefits, starting with energy efficiency. Because they heat water only as needed, they eliminate standby energy loss associated with traditional tanks. They also take up significantly less space, making them ideal for homes with limited storage areas. Additionally, tankless units generally last longer—up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance—and provide virtually unlimited hot water when sized correctly.

However, tankless systems aren't without their limitations. The initial installation cost is typically higher, especially for gas-powered units or when upgrades to your existing plumbing or electrical systems are required. In larger households with high simultaneous demand (like multiple showers and appliances running at once), a single unit may struggle to keep up. In such cases, a professional assessment is key to determining whether one or more units are needed to meet your home's hot water needs.
