What is a Tankless Water Heater?
Conventional water heaters work by heating up a large volume of water, which is then stored in a tank. Water in this tank does not stay at a set temperature. Over time, it cools due to heat loss and the system must compensate by turning it on periodically to ensure hot water is always available. The tank takes up space while repeated heating consumes a good deal of energy.
A tankless water heater mounts on the wall and water pipes feed directly through it. It turns on in response to the hot water tap being opened and runs only when you need hot water. This is the energy-saving aspect of the unit. The heating element turns on only when needed and your water supply is heated instantly. As soon as you shut the tap, the tankless heater turns off.
Keep in mind that the benefits of switching to tankless water heaters are only worth it if you have the hot water needs to match. Therefore, we often recommend tankless water heaters for smaller households. The less demand for hot water, the greater efficiency you’ll enjoy.
If you have a larger family or several people living in your home, you may need to install two or more tankless water heaters to keep up with the demand and reduce strain on your units. But in general, we recommend storage tank units for larger households as they allow for simultaneous hot water use. For example, someone can take a shower while another is doing the laundry or running the dishwasher.
Homeowners with tankless heaters enjoy:
More space – Tankless water heaters are the size of a small suitcase and can be installed in crawl spaces or on the wall. The standard size is 28 inches tall by 20 inches wide by 10 inches deep compared to a 60-inch tall by 24-inch-wide traditional water tank.
More savings – With on-demand hot water, you won’t have to heat up more water than you need. This can result in an appreciative drop in your water bill, potentially reducing monthly energy expenditures.
Greater efficiency – Tankless water heaters can last for 20 years or more (compared to the 10-15 years of a conventional tank model). During that time, you can enjoy up to 34% greater efficiency than a conventional water heater.1
Safer operation – There is no tank that can suddenly burst and flood your home; plus, risk of back drafting is lowered since exhaust and air supply vents are sealed (gas units). Tankless water heaters therefore can also give you peace of mind.
Less maintenance – Since there is no tank, you won’t have to worry about flushing it regularly to prevent corrosion and sediment buildup. While annual cleaning of mineral buildup is recommended, professional service may be required only every four or five years.

Licensed, Insured & Bonded When to Call for Tankless Water Heater Repair
While tankless units provide unlimited on-demand hot water, they still require time to warm up. Avoid overloading your unit with too much hot water use at once (therefore we recommend storage tanks for bigger households).
Other common tankless water heater issues include:
- Faulty ignition
- Blocked vents
- Clogged outlets due to hard water
- Leaking heat exchangers (which can lead to corroded units)
These problems can lead to low water pressure, a lack of hot water, or a complete system breakdown. Call our licensed plumbers for a professional diagnosis. We can give you options for repair or let you know if it’s time to consider water heater replacement.
