How Much Money does a Tankless Water Heater Save?
On demand water heaters, often referred to as tankless water heaters only produce hot water when you need it. There is no water storage being heated therefore you save money, but how much money does a tankless water heater save?
How It Works
A tankless water heater has no tank, so no water is being heated when not in use. When you turn the hot water faucet on in the house, cold water travels through the unit, gets heated and delivered to you.
Generally, the hot water is delivered at a rate of 2-5 gallons per minute.
Electric or Gas Tankless Water Heater?
Gas operated tankless water heaters produce a higher flow rate of hot water than the electric ones.
If you’re in a large home, the gas fired tankless model can’t supply hot water simultaneously for multiple users like the electric one does.
Operating Costs of Gas or Electric Water Heaters
Cost and Savings of an On-Demand Water Heater

- Tankless water heaters have lower operating and energy cost
- Life expectancy is more than 20 years when compared to 10 with traditional water heaters
