I had been reading a lot about hot water on demand and I wanted to know more about it; I went to the home center and inquired if they had hot water on demand units, he said they had tankless hot water heating systems and wanted to know if that’s what I wanted? He explained there was a device that hung on the outside wall, but when there was a call for hot water, within minutes the coils of the device would begin heating the water as it flowed through, then five seconds after turning on the faucet, the hot water was running into the sink, tub, or wherever it was needed.
I had read that tankless hot water heating was more efficient, but the electricity wasn’t regularly running to keep the water in the tank hot. The amount of electricity used with tankless water heating systems was much less than what he used with the old-fashioned heaters, although a tankless boiling water heater was more costly, I thought that the amount of money we saved on electric bills would outweigh the amount of money we spent on the tankless hot water heater. Not only was I considering the energy bills, we basically had all the hot water all of us needed. When we were using our old hot water heater, I ran out of boiling water within several minutes of getting into our shower. I was convinced that once we had the tankless boiling water heater, I could take a long shower to relax my muscles, and not run out of hot water.
