Tankless water heaters have become extremely popular both in and outside of the United States as more and more people realize the value of water consumption and water heating savings.

Indeed, in many countries across the globe, traditional tank based water heaters are now being considered as inefficient and outdated pieces of infrastructure that need to be updated at the next opportunity.

As the cost of heating water continues to rise across the country, more and more people are now discovering what other people have known and exploited for years - electric tankless water heaters can do the same job as tank based units but in a far shorter time and for far less money.

But while having a tankless water heater might sound straightforward and the solution for your water heating problems around the home, there are certain requirements that must be met in order for electric tankless water heaters to be installed and to operate properly, though.

All of the various voltage, amperage, and circuit breaker standards and requirements must be met, and in some cases, venting systems must be put in place to allow adequate air circulation.

If you intend on using a tankless water heater, you should really consider contacting a professional tankless water heater installer to make sure the required levels are available and to take care of all of the installation details such as being certain that the unit is set up and mounted correctly and is fully operational.

But why consider a tankless water heater? What you should be aware of is that a traditional water heater continues to run even when it is not in use.

What does this mean for you? This means that your gas or electric bill will be unduly inflated and tat you are being charged for something you are not even using when you are sleeping.

Electric tankless water heaters only use electricity when they are called upon to create hot water hence you are only charged when this electricity is being generated to create the hot water. Along with that fact that a tankless water heater can save you money, tankless water heaters can often generate hot water at a more consistent rate than other water heater meaning that your shower or bath will be far more reliable in terms of temperature.

Several companies manufacture electric tankless water heaters across the United States. Most models have similar functionality but size and power does vary so you really need to work out what tankless water heater you need to meet your needs.
