Our range of tankless water heaters only heat water when you need it, discarding the need to store that hot water. In addition, there is no possibility of failures or leaks in the tank, since we do not have a storage tank. Mostly, tankless water heaters have a lifespan of about 20 years, which is a considerable advantage over tank heaters, which last around half or less time.

How does a tankless water heater work?

At the moment you open the hot water tap either to take a shower or to wash the dishes, a process is carried out to heat the water in your heater. A pipe conducts the cold water to the device, this one by means of a gas or electric system, heats the water. The flow of hot water is constant, although it may not come out with a pressure that is too high, normally tankless water heaters are capable of producing hot water at a flow rate of 1136 liters per hour. Gas heater models have a higher flow rate than electric heaters.

Types of tankless water heaters:

There are two types of tankless heaters, smaller units that are usually installed near the point of use and even at the point itself, and large units that are installed in the main water outlet and are capable of producing hot water for the entire home . Smaller models are usually used as a complement to a heater that cannot provide hot water to a bathroom or kitchen far away from the main heater.

Larger water heaters are capable of providing hot water for multiple points of frequent use in the home. These units can eliminate heat losses from a storage tank, but there will still be slight heat losses while water flows through the pipe to the tap.

Advantages and disadvantages of a tankless water heater:

  • Some of the advantages of a tankless water heater:
    1. Tankless water heaters are small in size, occupy less space than conventional tank water heaters.
    2. Eliminate standby losses: waste of energy when hot water cools on long pipes or while in the storage tank.
    3. Water savings: by providing hot water immediately where it is used, tankless water heaters waste less water.
    4. One of our devices can provide unlimited hot water as long as it operates within its capacity.
    5. The expected life of our heaters is 20 years, compared to 10 to 15 years for tank type water heaters.
  • Disadvantages of a tankless water heater:
    1. Tankless water heaters generally cannot supply enough hot water for simultaneous use, such as showers and laundry.
    2. Sometimes tankless electric water heaters require relatively high power consumption.
    3. Gas heaters must be vented outwards, either with direct ventilation or conventional smoke vent.
