If your water heater is nearing the end of its life—or if you’re tired of running out of hot water—you might be wondering if it’s time to switch to a tankless system. Here’s what you need to know to make the best choice for your home or business.
Unlike traditional systems that store heated water in a tank, tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. This means you only use energy when you need hot water—and never run out.
Endless Hot Water: Great for large families or commercial uses like salons or gyms.
Energy Efficiency: Uses 24%–34% less energy for homes using under 41 gallons per day.*
Compact Design: Wall-mounted and space-saving—ideal for smaller utility areas.
Longer Lifespan: Up to 20+ years with proper maintenance, compared to 10–15 years for tank models.
*According to the U.S. Department of Energy.
A tankless water heater is worth considering if:
You have multiple people using hot water at once
You want to save energy and reduce your utility bills
You’re renovating or building and want to maximize space
Your current unit is more than 10 years old or showing signs of failure
Upfront Cost: More expensive than traditional units, including installation.
May Require Upgrades: Your gas line or electrical system might need modification.
Flow Rate Limits: Units must be properly sized to meet your peak demand—especially in larger households or businesses.
Think about your usage patterns, hot water needs, and long-term energy goals. A tankless system might not be right for everyone—but when it is, it’s a game-changer for comfort and efficiency.
