Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters first came into widespread use in Europe after the second World War. Shunned in the United States as being incapable of providing sufficient volumes of hot water at high enough temperatures, they were brought over to Canada where they gradually gained well loved acceptance. After the energy crisis of the 1970’s they saw increased use in Europe and Canada, but they still were not an acceptable alternative to the standard tank type water heaters used in the United States. We Americans were used to huge things. We wanted lots of hot water standing ready for our use, indifferent, for the most part, to the cost of the energy required to achieve this.
As the years have gone by and energy costs have heated up, more and more Americans have looked for ways to save energy, money and water. Correctly chosen for the application, properly sized and installed, tankless water heaters can help accomplish these goals.
