What Is a Tankless Water Heater?
A traditional water heater sometimes called a storage water heater, heats water as it is stored in the tank. The tank is the large metal box that is usually located either in the basement or on an exterior wall of the home.
The hot water is then released as it is needed through a valve in the water heater or a water heater loop. A tankless water heater does not store water. Instead, it heats water on demand. There are two types of tankless water heaters, and each has its own advantages.
The two types of tankless water heaters are:
- Instantaneous water heaters — These heat water as it is needed. They are sometimes called "demand" water heaters. They are very efficient and can provide hot water faster than traditional water heaters.
- Convective water heaters — These heat water using a fan that blows air over a heating element. They are more efficient and less expensive than instantaneous water heaters.
