Gas Tankless Water Heaters
Gas Tankless water heaters are the most efficient water heaters available. Propane would be the next most efficient. A gas tankless water heater works like this:
When the faucet is turned on, water will flow over the internal elements and in just seconds, water will be the desired temperature. It does not take cold water to adjust the temperature. The water is heated instantly, only as needed. There is never water heated until is in need. So in other words, the water tank that we used to have to hold the hot water in 24 hours per day, is now eliminated. There is no need for it. Thus, making our energy bills go down substantially. The gas tankless water heater will automatically, and completely shut down when the faucet is turned off. Which in turn saves on the gas bill, due to the fact that it doesn't have to maintain a tank full of hot water continually.
Another added benefit to a gas tankless water heater is the availability of hot water all the time. A home or business will never run out of hot water. That is why so many schools, business offices, nursing homes, and large family dwellings, are purchasing the gas tankless water heaters.
They are also safer. Regular tank water heaters can rupture and leak, causing fires and electrical shock. The gas tankless water heater will never do this because there is no tank! Which also makes it a great space saver, compared to the old stand by.
Another safety issue when dealing with a standard water heater is burns from extreme high temperatures of hot water. This, too, will be eliminated. When the consumer purchases the gas tankless water heater and has it installed, they will set it at their own desired temperature. Since you do not have to add cold to adjust the temperature, the water heater will stay consistently the same at all times.
So as you can see, there are many benefits to purchasing a gas tankless water heater. They are more expensive to buy, however, the money saved in energy bills will balance out the higher cost.
There are many different companies out there that offer these gas tankless water heaters. It is recommended that research be done on these companies to ensure that you get a good quality product. One suggestions would be to contact your local utility company for advice and tips on this subject.
