What is an electric tankless water heater and how does it work?
An electric tankless water heater provides hot water on-demand or instantly to a desired hot water tap that is needed when turned on. There is an inlet and outlet water supply on the electric tankless water heater which intern cold water runs in the unit through the inlet water supply and travels through what’s called a “heating element” that heats the water instantly through the outlet water supply that feeds the desired call for hot water. Since they are relatively new to the market, an electric tankless water heater is determined to last near 20-30 years. This is a very significant benefit to anyone that is considering replacing their traditional tank water heater which only lasts 8-12 years.
