Considering a tankless water heater installation for your home?
A tankless water heater produces hot water on demand, which is why they are also know as on demand water heaters.
Tankless water heaters can heat your home’s water supply without the usage of an external hot water storage tank. Because you are only heating water as you need they are more energy efficient.
On demand water systems are popular in some European countries and Japan, where space is at a premium. However, the lifecyle cost savings are starting to push these systems towards wide spread usage.
Tankless water heaters hook up to your city water supply or home water tank. When you turn on a tap or shower in your home, it asks your on demand water heater for hot water. basically, your water heater will take a few seconds to heat up the necessary amount of water, only as needed for your immediate consumption. This is unlike a traditional hot water tank, which holds water hot for long periods of time, whether you need it or not.

What you need to consider for tankless water heater installations

-
- You may need a water softener system: Calgary’s water supply is known as hard water. Hard water lime and mineral build up can waive warranty of some tankless water heater systems. It’s hard on the system.
- In a power outage, you’ll be without heated water: Because a tankless water heater only supplies hot water on demand, in a power outage, you won’t have hot water stored in a tank to use as you need.
- Hot water may not be immediate: You may have to wait to be served with hot water for showers, typically about 30 seconds maximum. But this is similar to hot water tank setups in most homes.
- You’ll need a professional home assessment: To install a tankless water heater will require a full home or building assessment based on your hot water requirements. Other factors, permitting, and professional installers should be considered.
- It might not meet your needs: For allot of homes one tankless water heater will suffice. In other situations it’s possible you may require additional hot water solutions, generally if you have high hot water demand needs.

Are tankless water heaters cost effective?
Yes they are. That's the main benefit.
They will use more water, but energy is used only when in use. A tank water heater heats up periodically when the temperature of the water inside the tank cools down.
The lifecyle costs for a tankless water heater in a typical home application will outweigh the higher uprfront costs of installation.
That’s because tankless water heater installations costs are more than hot water tank install and replacement costs. You need take into account modifications to gas lines, water lines, and venting if you’re switching from hot water tank to an on demand system.
If you already have a tankless on demand water heater system in your home, replacement costs can actually be similar to that of traditional hot water tank replacement.
Overall you’ll need to consider the energy bill savings over the typical lifespan for a tankless water heater. With the right model you can get 15 years, of reliable energy efficent hot water supply for your home.
