Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters, also known as demand-type or instantaneous water heaters, provide hot water as needed, eliminating the need for a storage tank and the stanby losses associated with a traditional tank water heater. At Hot Water Solutions, we sell, install, and service both traditional tank and tankless water heaters.
How does a tankless water heater work?

Unlike a traditional tank water heater, which continuously heats water stored in a tank, tankless water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank. When the hot water tap is turned on, cold water moves through a pipe into the unit and a gas burner or electric element heats the water. As a result, tankless water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water that doesn't run out.
