Q: How do tankless water heaters work?
A: Tankless Noritz water heaters work on demand – they only heat water when necessary. When a hot water fixture is opened or hot water is required by an applance, the heater will sense the demand and heat water accordingly. Tankless water heaters continuously heat the water through a heat exchanger. Instead of wasting energy and money re-heating and storing water when it is not needed, tankless water heaters provide only as much hot water as needed.
Q: What is the difference between a storage tank water heater and a tankless water heater?
A: Tank water heaters store and heat water at all times, thus incurring higher operating costs, whereas tankless water heaters only heat water as needed. In addition, tank heaters have a limited supply of hot water and will run out of hot water while tankless heaters provide an unlimited supply of hot water – you will never run out. Also, the size of a residential tankless heater is about the size of a carry on suitcase and can be installed virtually anywhere inside or outside. This will allow you to reclaim valuable space in your home.
Q: How much money can be saved if a tankless water heater is used in place of a storage tank?
A: Using a Noritz tankless water heater will allow a home to use up to 50% less energy for water heating, which can save hundreds of dollars per year.
Q: How long do tankless water heaters last?
A: Tankless water heaters can last 20 or more years, which is 2-3 times longer than a traditional tank heater. They are extremely reliable as Noritz units are manufactured with the highest quality parts and put through very rigorous testing and quality control.
