Common Tankless Water Heater Questions

​

How does a tankless water heater work?

A tankless water heats water instantaneously on demand without the use of a storage tank. When a hot water faucet is turned on, water flows through a heat exchanger inside the tankless water heater while the unit's gas burner heats up the water as it passes through. This allows for increased efficiency and unlimited hot water.

Should I get my gas line tested or inspected for leaks?
