Depend on Getting Enough Hot Water Again

water heater Wallingford, PAImagine starting off your morning with an ice-cold shower because your water heater isn’t working correctly—or worse, has stopped heating your water completely. An inefficient, failing water heater is not only inconvenient, but it also leads to higher energy bills and decreased performance, affecting both your wallet and peace of mind.

How a Propane Tankless Water Heater Works

A propane tankless water heater is so compact in size that it can easily be mounted on a wall. These units are about the size of a suitcase, which allows for installation in crawl spaces, attics, closets, and other tight spaces.

How can something that small deliver a comparable amount of hot water as an old tank storage water heater? It’s simple. When you turn on your hot water faucets or an appliance like your dishwasher, a flow sensor activates a propane gas burner to heat the water. The heating will continue until you turn off the faucet or appliance, which shuts off the gas burner.

Isn’t that a better way than relying on your old storage tank water heater to heat water and store it for when you need it? This is not an ideal situation as the tank will lose heat over time, especially if the hot water tank is in an unheated space. And that costs you money!

By switching to a tankless model, your energy efficiency can improve by up to 40%, and you’ll have access to virtually unlimited amounts of hot water—because you won’t have to worry about the tank draining and having to refill and reheat.

Depending on key factors like how many tubs and showers you have, how often you’re running appliances like a washing machine or dishwasher, and how many of these would be in use at once, we can customize your tankless water heater to suit your needs and always deliver all the hot water you require.
