Need a New Water Heater?....Think Tank-less

I've been seeing tank-less water heaters more and more on recent home inspections in the Toronto area....and here's why;

These sometimes called ‘on demand’ water heaters take up less space, use less energy and last longer than conventional storage tank heaters.    Believe it or not, but 20%-40% of energy consumed by conventional water heaters is lost due to radiant heat loss as heat is slowly released from the storage tank.  The tankless system can reduce your water heating costs by as much as 50% because it’s only heating water when it is needed and eliminates radiant heat loss by no longer using a storage tank.   Let’s also not forget that they’re super compact in size compared to conventional tanks and can be mounted on the wall, literally taking up no floor space at all!

A home inspection with a qualified contractor (plumber) can determine your households specific needs and may be a good idea to find out your options when it comes to your households water heating. Maybe a tank-less water heater is right for you!


I love heating all this water for nobody.

It just looks better!
