Tankless water heating systems have been around for a long time in Europe and the Far East but for many North Americans they're a relatively new concept which has slowly been gaining ground since the 1980s.

Because we're so used to the idea of having 60+ gallons of water stored within our home and kept hot 24/7, the thought of a tankless hot water heater seems a bit strange to us.

What should seem strange instead, especially today, is that we actually maintain gallons of hot water 24 Hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, whether we're using any hot water or not. We only turn lights on when we need light so why would we keep heating multiple gallons of hot water to just have it sit there when we aren't using any?

Unnecessary energy use and standby energy loss are just a couple of negatives with the old tank system, not to mention the water damage associated with blown or leaky water tanks.

Tankless water heaters (also called Demand Water Heaters or Instantaneous Water Heaters) are simply ON DEMAND systems which means they heat the water as needed instead of storing it hot—because there is no tank to fill, you'll never run out of hot water—and save energy and money since the system only comes on when you need it.
