1. Why should I trade in my Tank water heater for a Tankless?

Currently your tank water heater is stored either within a closet, underneath your air conditioner, or inside a utility closet taking up space. This valuable space can be used as an additional closet or storage space by replacing your tank with a compact, tankless, water heater the size of a phone book that you can hang on a wall. By replacing your tank with a tankless heater you can enjoy the benefits of saving up to 60% of your hot water heating bill and enjoy an endless supply of hot water.

Your current tank type water heater turns on and off consuming energy every 30-45 minutes regardless if you are using hot water or not, wasting energy. Tankless water heaters only consume power when you are demanding hot water from any of your faucets, and when you shut off the hot water tap the tankless unit turns off.

3. How many Tankless water heaters do I need to run my entire home?

Also there are many situations where a home has a separate room or quarters, eg. pool house, maid quarters, and there is no hot water source to feed these applications, than you can use a small point of use tankless just for that location. They are small enough to be concealed right under your sink or in a closet.

5. Where is the tankless water heater installed?

Since tankless water heaters are small, compact, and do not need any venting they can be installed pretty much anywhere hot water is needed: under a sink, closet, etc. If possible close to the electric panel.
