Tankless Water Heaters in Santa Rosa, CA

Are you cramped for space? Does your Santa Rosa, CA, home or business lack a basement where you can place a 20- to 70-gallon hot water tank? Do you want to save on energy costs and have almost instant access to hot water? If you say yes to one or all of the above, Tankless Water Heaters in Santa Rosa, CA might be the ideal solution. More and more homeowners are tapping into the versatility of tankless water heaters.

Tankless hot water heaters are also known as “demand type” or “instantaneous” water heaters, and these are perfect descriptions. Tankless water heaters produce hot water only when needed, and the flow of hot water is continuous and not limited by the capacity of a storage tank. Maintenance is still necessary for tankless water heaters, and will help ensure your tankless water heater lasts for decades before a replacement is necessary. 

Benefits of Replacement for Tankless Water Heaters in Santa Rosa, CA

Tankless water heaters can provide hot water for an entire house, to a specific water outlet (shower, bathtub), to supplement the hot water of an appliance (washer, dishwasher) or can be configured to meet other needs. A tankless hot water heater usually is hung on a wall, and a whole-house unit measures about two-feet tall and one-foot wide. In high usage households, two or more tankless water heaters can be hooked up in parallel to meet multi-tasking needs.  

How does a tankless water heater work? It’s pretty basic. When a hot water tap is turned on, a flow-sensing device is activated. Cold water flows through a pipe into the heating unit. The hot water leaves the unit and travels to the hot water tap when it is turned on. The best tankless water heaters can produce 3 to 5 gallons of hot water per minute. When the hot water tap is turned off, the flow-sensing device is deactivated.

Tankless water heaters are powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane. The water is heated by either an electric element or a gas burner inside of the unit. Generally, gas-fired tankless hot water heaters have a higher flow rate than electric ones. 

The initial costs to install a tankless water heater in Santa Rosa, CA, are greater than a traditional hot water heater with a storage tank. But the best tankless water heaters will last longer and produce lower annual operating and energy costs.
