Electric and gas tankless water heating systems have been used in Europe and Asia for 50 years. Referred to as instant, demand, flash or tankless water heaters, they are designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications to provide an endless supply of hot water while reducing the energy costs required to operate a conventional tank type water heater by up to 50%.
Though the tank water heater system has been available for years, scientists and engineers have determined that there are better ways of heating the water that you use in your everyday life. With a tankless water heater, you can enjoy the hot water that you expect without some of the hassle that you may have grown used to. Tankless (sometimes known as on demand) water heaters do not store the hot water that you will be suing. These systems heat incoming water while it passes along a series of coils. This system allows the water heater to be much more energy efficient. Tankless water heaters are available in LP, electric, and natural gas models.

What are the advantages of a tankless hot water heater system?
Also known as either a point of use water heater or an on demand water heater, this innovative product generates hot water immediately when you open the hot water site of our faucet. The unit then turns itself off when the faucet is closed, thus saving energy costs over the entire lifetime of the unit. The energy consumed is only for heating the water that is needed for that specific time. Since there is no storage of hot water and no constant heating and re-heating of water as in standard water heaters, you’re not wasting energy when you don’t need it.
The energy savings of the gas tankless water heaters translate to dollar savings for you and reduced impact on our environment. Typical savings are approximately 30% of your energy usage. Furthermore, tankless water heaters produce an endless supply of hot water, provided you size the unit appropriately. Point of use water heaters are also designed to last for 20+ years and can be mounted to a wall to save space.
How does an electric point of use heaters work?
Same principle as the gas units, when a hot water tap is opened, the cold water enters the heater and triggers the heating elements to turn on. Your hot water tap acts as an ignition key for the energy used to heat the hot water you need. The water is then heated as it flows through the heating elements or heat exchanger.

The Main Advantages Are:
Endless hot water
Since there is no tank to fill, there is no end to your supply of hot water. Depending on the model, Takagi Tankless water heaters deliver between 200 gallons & 500 gallons of hot water every hour on demand. Tankless systems guarantee that an endless supply of water is available to residences, commercial spaces or anywhere a constant source of hot water is needed.
Space saving & easy installation
A standard FLASH water heater, taking up only 2.2 cubic feet of space & 60 pounds, is about the size of a suitcase. This allows for installation in spaces w/ limited area or even outdoors w/ no enclosures.
Money & energy savings
Since a tankless water heater has neither a storage tank to keep heated all day, nor a pilot light, it burns gas only when you need hot water. This eliminates standby heat loss, which can be as high as 3-4% every hour for storage tank type water heaters. This higher efficiency can allow you to save up to 50% off your utility costs.
