Tankless Hot Water Heaters - A New Energy Saver

Here’s an interesting find, for those of you looking for ways to do something for the environment: tankless hot water heaters. Also called instant hot water heaters with the smaller versions, that fit under a sink, as “on demand hot water heaters.”

Their energy saving capability should make them a big favorite with anyone in the market for a new hot water heater, and might be interested in an unlimited stream of hot water.

This is something that has already caught on with energy conscious Europeans and is quickly gaining popularity in the U.S.

Gone is the need for a tank big enough to serve the whole house, now with both electric and gas models to choose from there are lots of possibilities for installing smaller units to works in zones. Installation has changed too. Installing tankless water heaters is a simple matter of attaching a PC-size (for electric models) on the wall and hooking up electrical and plumbing connections - something that many DIYers will be interested in.

Finding the right model is no longer about storage capacity but is now decided by how far north you live. Instantly raising your bathwater from below ground level temperature to something you desire is what it‘s all about, and that is why these units are often called instant hot water heaters.

In addition to the compact size and unlimited supply of hot water this is a product that can be appreciated for its energy savings. And this is just the beginning; there is the potential for even greater savings as the technology develops.

See for yourself how easy it is to install one of these heaters: http://www.installing-a-tankless-water-heater.com
