Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
Tankless Water Heaters Installation Services
Tankless water heaters are instant water heaters and are known as demand-type water heaters. They provide hot water only when needed and don’t produce standby energy losses which can be a money saver.
Such heaters are not only energy-efficient, but they occupy less space. Moreover, they are swift and fulfil your instant hot water needs when required.
They play an essential role, especially in the winter season when life can become uncomfortable without hot water for baths, dishwashing and clothes washing. Tankless water heaters are compact, but if you want them to work efficiently, you should seek the help of professionals of Five Star Heating & Cooling for its installation and maintenance procedure.
Working of Tankless Water Heaters
These heaters are tankless and heat the water without using a storage tank. When you turn on the tap, the cold water moves to a unit through pipes where a gas burner heats the water. In this way, a tankless water heater provides hot water whenever needed without waiting for a storage tank to fill up.
A tankless water heater provides hot water at 7.6 to 15.2 liters per minute which is about 2-5 gallons. A gas-fired tankless water heater has a higher flow rate than an electric water heater, but sometimes even a large gas water heater cannot provide a large household’s needs if the users are multiple.
You can install two tankless water heaters in a parallel direction for hot water’s immediate demands to overcome this problem. Moreover, you can also install a tankless water heater separately for different appliances like clothes and dishwasher.
