Tankless Water Heaters
Posted by easy eco blog
Tankless Water heaters produce hot water as hot water is requested. Traditional water heaters have large tanks to store and heat water, so they continually have to keep the water heated.
Tankless Water heaters use electricity or gas to quickly heat water that is needed. Different units are capable of product hot water at different rates. Gas units generally perform better. Large units or multiple units are required if you need to have say a kitchen sink, shower, and other things operating at the same time. Savings up to 30% can be realized.
Some key items to look for are electrical needs of a unit, or gas and venting needs. Many gas units require a certain size of gas inlet and exhaust vent size. I found these requirement prohibitive in my installation attempt.
Energy star tax credits upto $1500 are available.

Note that tankless water heaters may be a good alternative for businesses as well as homes. Pubs, Restaurants, Hotels, Motels, and more, all use TWH’s for the very large cost savings, being able to expense or depreciate the up-front costs. So if you have an in-home business, or you just want to make points with your boss by cutting expenses, keep that in mind.
