Tankless Water Heating,

What are tankless water heaters?

Tankless water heating systems are revolutionizing the way homeowners meet their hot water needs. These energy efficient systems can produce an endless supply of hot water. Traditional storage tank heaters keep water hot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, constantly heating and re-heating stored water and wasting energy. A tankless system does not store hot water. It only heats the water when you use it. Saving energy that translates into dollar savings for you.

Discussions on tankless water heaters are heating up and word is that homeowners are finding that the technology has huge benefits, including:

• A longer life span than traditional tanks (The average shelf life of tankless unit is greater than 20 years, verses 10 years for a storage tank system.)
• Energy cost savings

Tankless water heaters heat water only as it’s used, or on demand and that saves money, since water heating accounts for 20% or more of an average energy bill.

How do I purchase a tankless water heater?

Pat the Plumber prides itself by offering our customers true professional grade tankless water heaters. We install Noritz tankless water heaters which are only available thru professional wholesale distribution centers. Noritz tankless water heaters are not sold at retail stores since they are high-capacity performance water heaters. Noritz insures that their units will be installed by a professional to ensure proper installation. This will also help protect your investment, since the warranty will be void if our units are not installed by a licensed plumbing contractor.

What's typically involved in a basic tankless installation?

• Removal of your old tank water heater
• Mounting of your new Noritz tankless water heater
• Service and pressure relief valves
• Electric power outlet (req. for digital remote, PC board, freeze protection)
• 3/4" gas line upgrade
• Hot and cold water pipe lines
• New vent-run for indoor installations

Note: Every installation is unique to a home. Your qualified installer will help determine what's best for your application. Also, it is a good idea to have your installer test your water hardness, since scale build-up will affect the heater's performance and warranty. Please refer to the "Water Quality" section in the owner's guide for details.
