What Are Tankless Heaters?

Tankless water heaters—also known as on-demand or instant hot water heaters—function differently from their traditional counterparts by only heating water when you need it. Tankless water heaters work by heating cold water instantly as it flows through a powerful heat exchanger. This is in contrast to traditional water heaters, that waste energy by reheating water in a storage tank.

Instead, tankless options provide endless hot water while reducing energy consumption and minimizing standby heat loss. The most common varieties to choose from are gas tankless water heaters or electric ones. At Waterfront Plumbing, we can install both!
Gas Tankless Water Heaters
  • Use natural gas or propane tanks to heat water.
  • Heats water faster with a higher flow rate.
  • Ideal for larger households or businesses that demand hot water in high volume.
  • Require venting to safely expel combustion gases.
Electric Tankless Water Heaters:
  • Powered entirely by electricity.
  • Easier to install with fewer ventilation requirements.
  • Best for smaller households or point-of-use applications that need continuous hot water.
  • Typically more energy-efficient for buildings and homes.
