How Tankless Water Heaters Work
Tankless units heat water instantly as it flows through the unit:
- Hot water tap opens
- Flow sensor detects water movement
- Burner or heating element activates
- Water heated to set temperature
- Hot water delivered continuously
- Unit shuts off when tap closes
No storage tank means no waiting for water to heat and no running out of hot water.

We calculate these factors to recommend the right size unit for your home.
