What is a Tankless Water Heater?

Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters

Endless Hot Water Supply

One of the most significant advantages of tankless water heaters is their ability to provide an unlimited supply of hot water. Unlike traditional tank-style heaters that store a limited amount of hot water, tankless units heat water on demand. This means you can enjoy long showers, run multiple appliances simultaneously, and never worry about running out of hot water.

Energy Efficiency

Tankless water heaters are highly energy-efficient compared to traditional models. Since they only heat water when needed, they eliminate standby heat loss—the energy wasted by keeping a large volume of water hot in a tank. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless systems can be up to 34% more efficient than conventional models, leading to significant savings on your energy bills.

Space-Saving Design

Tankless units are compact and can be installed in various locations throughout your home, including closets, basements, or even mounted on walls. This space-saving design is ideal for homeowners looking to maximize their usable space and minimize clutter.

Longer Lifespan

Tankless water heaters typically last longer than traditional tank models. With proper maintenance, they can last up to 20 years—double the lifespan of standard units. This longevity means fewer replacements and less waste over time.

Reduced Risk of Water Damage

Since tankless systems do not store large amounts of water, there is a significantly lower risk of leaks or ruptures that can cause extensive water damage in your home. This added safety feature provides peace of mind for homeowners.

Lower Utility Bills

By using less energy to heat your water, tankless systems can lead to lower utility bills over time. Although the initial investment may be higher than traditional models, the long-term savings on energy costs often make up for it.

How Do I Know I Need A New Water Heater?

Recognizing when it’s time to replace your water heater can save you from unexpected cold showers and potential water damage. Here are key indicators that suggest you may need a new water heater:

  • Age of the Unit: Most traditional water heaters last between 8 to 12 years, while tankless models can function for up to 20 years13. If your water heater is approaching or has surpassed this age range, it’s wise to start considering a replacement.
  • Rusty or Discolored Water: If your hot water appears rusty, cloudy, or has a metallic smell, it could indicate that the interior of your tank is corroding14. This is a clear sign that your water heater is deteriorating and may need replacement.
  • Insufficient or Inconsistent Hot Water: A sudden decrease in hot water supply or fluctuating water temperatures can signal that your water heater is struggling to keep up with demand26. This could be due to a failing heating element or sediment buildup in the tank.
  • Strange Noises: Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds coming from your water heater often indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank12. While flushing the tank might help, persistent noises in an older unit usually mean it’s time for a replacement.
  • Visible Leaks or Moisture: Water pooling around the base of your water heater or visible moisture on the tank surface are serious signs that your unit is leaking. This often indicates internal tank damage, which typically requires a full replacement.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself calling for repairs more than twice a year, it’s probably more cost-effective to invest in a new water heater. Repeated breakdowns are a clear indication that your unit is reaching the end of its lifespan.
  • Higher Energy Bills: An aging water heater becomes less efficient over time, which can lead to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills5. Upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model can help reduce your long-term costs.

Types of Tankless Water Heaters

  • Non-Condensing Tankless Water Heaters: These first-generation units use a single heat exchanger to heat water on-demand, achieving an Efficiency Factor (EF) of 0.82-0.85. While reliable, they produce hot exhaust requiring expensive stainless steel venting.
  • Condensing Tankless Water Heaters: These second-generation models utilize a second heat exchanger to recycle exhaust heat, achieving higher efficiency (92-94%). They offer lower operating costs and can be vented with less expensive PVC.
  • Condensing Hybrid Tankless Water Heaters: This third-generation option includes a small holding tank (1-2 gallons) to maintain hot water availability for short draws, achieving an EF of 0.92-0.96.
  • Point-of-Use Tankless Water Heaters: Designed for single fixtures or appliances, these compact units reduce lag time for hot water delivery and are ideal for remote locations.
  • Whole-House Tankless Water Heaters: These larger units provide hot water for an entire home and come in various sizes to meet different household needs.
  • Electric Tankless Water Heaters: Using electric elements, these models are easier to install but may have lower flow rates compared to gas units.
  • Gas Tankless Water Heaters: Powered by natural gas or propane, these units generally offer higher flow rates and lower operating costs than electric models.
  • Recirculation Tankless Water Heaters: Some units feature built-in recirculation systems that provide near-instant hot water by looping cold water back to the heater.

When selecting a tankless water heater, consider your household’s hot water demand, energy sources, and installation needs to find the best fit.

Choosing the Right Tankless Water Heater

When selecting a tankless water heater for your home, several factors should be considered:

  • Flow Rate: The flow rate indicates how much hot water the unit can provide at any given time, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Determine your household’s peak hot water usage to choose a model that meets your needs.
  • Fuel Type: Tankless water heaters are available in both gas and electric models. Gas units typically offer higher flow rates and faster heating times but may require additional venting and gas line installation. Electric models are easier to install but may have limitations on flow rate.
  • Size and Installation Location: Consider where you want to install your tankless heater and ensure it fits comfortably in that space. The compact design allows for flexibility in placement but requires proper ventilation if you’re opting for a gas unit.

Commercial Tankless Water Heaters

Commercial tankless water heaters provide efficient, on-demand hot water solutions for businesses, offering significant energy savings and space efficiency. With efficiency ratings up to 96%, these units are ideal for high-demand applications such as restaurants, hotels, schools, and laundromats.

Key Benefits

  • High Efficiency: Reduces energy costs significantly.
  • Scalability: Multiple units can be combined to meet large hot water demands.
  • Space-Saving: Compact design allows for flexible installation.
  • Durability: Built with commercial-grade components for long-lasting performance.

Choosing the right commercial tankless water heater involves considering flow rates, energy sources, and specific business needs to ensure optimal performance. 

Maintenance Tips for Tankless Water Heaters

To ensure optimal performance and longevity from your tankless system, regular maintenance is essential:

  • Descaling: Mineral buildup can affect performance over time; descaling every 6-12 months helps maintain efficiency.
  • Check Filters: Regularly inspect and clean any filters to ensure proper flow and heating efficiency.
  • Annual Inspections: Schedule annual check-ups with Blue Skies Atlanta Plumbing to catch potential issues early and keep your system running smoothly.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonials from past clients

Daniel Miller

I cannot recommend Blue Skies enough. They (Jonathan) were helpful in every aspect of the process and professional to a T. We had a huge project that included installing a tankless water heater and digging up old pipes from the house to the street. They were on time, stuck to budget (which was a very fair price), and kept us updated on their progress along the way. If you need any plumbing inspection or work done, you’ll be so happy you called Blue Skies. I wish every service provider was as great as they are.

John Cobb

Dekalb County’s Low-Flow Certification program requires that a licensed plumber (or inspector) look at every fixture in a property and confirm that it is low-flow. I called Blue Skies because a friend had a great experience repairing a water main with them. I had an equally great experience. On time, very informative, and reasonably priced!

Ana Roesch

When I called and spoke with Garrett he immediately got one of his plumbers named George he was working in the area out here to do the repair. George was very thorough honest and professional. I would highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs

Tim Reis

Gareth was prompt, courteous and professional in providing excellent plumbing services on two different service calls — one to install a tankless water heater and another to replace convoluted and non-code-compliant pipes. I highly recommend you consider using Gareth and Blue Skies Atlanta plumbing.

C. M. Jay

Unbelievable great service! You can tell they love what they do. Showed me the problem on camera and was able to clear the clog. Offered a follow up for a more permanent fix to tree roots growing into sewer pipes. Owner called after to follow up on the job!

Christina Carter

I needed my kitchen sink plumbing disconnected and then fit to a new sink and reconnected after a counter top install. Scheduling was a breeze, pricing was fair. Our plumber, George, was friendly, professional, and did an excellent job.

Will Hinton

I needed to replace a leaky outdoor spigot. Blue Skies were super quick in getting this work done at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Blue Skies for anyone need an experience plumber who is reliable and affordable.

Charity Calvin Armstead

Gareth did some work for us a couple years ago and did a follow-up today. He is very professional, honest, and knowledgeable, and kept on top of communication on a large job even with a busy schedule. Would definitely work with him again.
