Why propane tankless water heating?
What's your biggest concern about water heating? Rising utility costs? Running out of hot water? Environmental sensitivity? You can address any of these concerns by choosing high-efficiency propane tankless water heating. Propane tankless units provide comfort, versatility, convenience, and efficiency by supplying high volumes of hot water with compact and highly innovative technology — a level of performance that electric and heating oil systems can't match.
How tankless works
- When there is a demand for hot water the flame ignites and heats two heat exchangers.
- Water preheats as it passes through a secondary heat exchanger.
- Water continues to heat to desired temperature as it passes through the primary heat exchanger.
- Hot water exits the unit and travels to the faucet fixture where needed.
- Flame output adjusts as needed to maintain water temperature during use.
- When hot water demand is complete, the unit turns off and water stops flowing.
Key benefits of propane tankless water heaters
- Reduced energy costs. Propane tankless water heaters can reduce energy costs by up to 50 percent and eliminate standby energy loss from the tank, as well as the unnecessary expense of heating water when it is not being used.
- Lower annual cost of ownership. Propane tankless water heaters offer the lowest annual cost of ownership in four out of five U.S. climate zones and far better performance than other models tested1. No cold showers. Propane tankless water heaters provide an endless supply of hot water, averaging about 222 gallons per hour, compared with an average first-hour delivery rating of just 62 gallons per hour for electric storage tank models.
- Compact size. A propane tankless water heater can save up to 16 square feet of floor space over a standard storage tank model.
- Long service life. Propane-fueled tankless water heaters have a life expectancy of about 20 years, much longer than any conventional storage water heater.
Note: Proper gallon per minute demand requirement and correct installation is crucial to performance.
