Electric VS Gas Tankless
Dec 5th
Gas VS Electric Tankless |
|
| Gas Tankless Water Heaters | Electric Tankless Water Heaters |
 |
 |
| LP or Natural Gas Prices Significantly Lower | Operating Cost Tends To Be Higher Long Term |
| More Powerful…Continuous Hot Water On Demand | Less Hot Water Due To Amount Of Electrical Current Needed to Produce Significant Amounts Of Hot Water |
| Low Amperage Needed For Operation | Needs at Least 120 Amps to Operate Which Is 5 Times That of a Typical Central Air Conditioning Systems |
| Note: The Comparison Made Between Gas & Electric is Based on several factors. Electic Tankless Water Heaters Can Be Used Efficiently In A One Family Home and Become Competitive To Gas Tankless Heaters.It should also be noted that electric Tankless Systems are IDEAL for cottages and Ontario has a huge vacation property industry. | |
Tankless To Traditional Comparison Chart

Tankless VS No Tank |
|
| Tankless Water Heaters | Traditional Water Heaters |
 |
 |
| Generates A Non-Stop Supply of Hot Water On Demand | Slowly Heats Cold Water At The Bottom Of Tank As Hot Water Is Depleted |
| Heats Water Only When Needed! No Energy Wasted On Keeping Hot Water On Standby | Burners Turn On and Off 24/7. Wastes Energy When It Is Not Needed |
| The Standard Tankless Water Heater Is About The Size Of A Suitcase and Mounts On Your Wall | The Traditional Water Heater Is About The Size Of A Small Refrigerator. The Unit Takes Up A Lot Of Space |
| A Tankless Water Heater Will Last At Least 20 Years | A Traditional Water Heater Needs To Be Replaced In 10 Years |
What is a Tankless Water Heater?
Dec 5th
Tankless Water Heaters, also called Instantaneous, Demand Water Heaters or insant hots, provide hot water only as it is needed. Traditional storage water heaters produce standby energy losses that cost you money.
No one leaves their car running overnight so that its warm in the morning. A Tankless Water Heater is used only when there is a demand for hot water.
Tankless Water Heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank, thus they are able to avoid the standby heat losses associated with storage water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. In a gas-fired Tankless Water Heater a gas burner heats the water. As a result, Tankless Water Heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water. You don’t need to wait for a storage tank to fill up with enough hot water, nor do you have to worry about it running out. Typically, gas-fired Tankless Water Heaters will produce higher flow rates than electric Tankless Water Heaters. Some smaller Tankless Water Heaters, however, cannot supply enough hot water for simultaneous, multiple uses in large households. For example, having 2 people taking simultaneous showers and running the dishwasher at the same time can stretch a Tankless Water Heater to its limit. To overcome this problem, you simply need to purchase a system that is correctly sized for your home. To get a free evaluation and quote fill out this form HERE
Tankless Opperational Differences

Tankless vs. Tanks: What Are The Differences?
Tanks and Tankless units have operational differences you need to be aware of.
Typically, you can expect to use approximately 70% of a tank’s volume; i.e., a 50-gallon tank should provide approximately 35 gallons of hot water. The burner initiates to reheat the tank, but the latter can only recover at approximately 1 GPM. Thus, the recovery wait begins. This stored volume, in combination with the standing pilot light, usually results in an Energy Factor (EF) in the low range of 0.53 ~ 0.62 for gas fired, tank-type water heaters. “Energy factor is what the end user pays for. A water heater with an energy factor of 0.62 means that for every dollar spent heating water, $0.62 is being used to heat the water. The remaining $0.38 is wasted.”
Whatever the maximum flow rate for any Tankless unit that flow is continuous for as long as there is demand. And unlike a tank-type heater, the temperature remains constant at the selected set point. There is no stored water and no pilot light, so Tankless systems have a high EF range between 0.81 and 0.94, depending on the model and gas type.
