TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATERS
When you turn on any hot water tap, water enters the heater, then the internal computer instantly detects water flow and ignites the burner. Within seconds, water is being circulated through the heat exchanger, where it is brought to the exact designated temperature and delivered to the tap. Once the tap is turned off, the unit shuts down which means you never have to pay for hot water you don't use as in conventional systems. This environmentally friendly method of hot water delivery can even get you government rebates. Tankless water heaters are often referred to as, "on-demand water heating," because it does not store heated water. Once the faucet is opened, water flows into the heater where a sensor turns on the heat exchanger or heating coils. Water flows through the heating coils, it is heated to the desired temperature. Once the faucet is closed, the sensor automatically shuts down the heating coils. The entire process takes about 5 seconds to heat the water initially.

The general premise behind a tankless water heater is to only heat water "on demand" as it is needed. This eliminates the need for a storage tank and dramatically increases energy efficiency. Almost every major shortcoming of a conventional water heater is addressed by a tankless system.
