What Is The Different Types Of Tankless Water Heaters?
There are three main types of tankless water heaters on the market:
Electric Tankless Water Heaters: These units use electricity as their power source to heat water as it flows through the unit. They are typically less expensive than gas tankless water heaters, but may have higher operating costs due to the cost of electricity. Tankless electric water heaters are a popular upgrade from the traditional hot water heater systems.
Gas Tankless Water Heaters: These units use natural gas or propane as their power source to heat water as it flows through the unit. They are typically more expensive than electric tankless water heaters, but may have lower operating costs due to the lower cost of gas.
Point-of-Use Tankless Water Heaters: These units are smaller than traditional tankless water heaters and are designed to provide hot water for specific appliances or areas of the home, such as a shower or kitchen sink. They are typically electric and are installed near the appliance they serve.
