These units are a perfect fit for all types of new home construction because they can be wall-mounted just about anywhere inside the home — or even outdoors — as apposed to taking up the 12-16 square feet of floor space that tank water heaters require. Propane water heaters are an environmentally friendly option for builders and homeowners. A major benefit of this technology is that, unlike tankwater heaters, it doesn’t use additional energy to keep the stored water heated; therefore, it’s not constantly operating. By eliminating the need to cycle on and off in order to bring the stored water up to the required temperature, the propane tankless unit provides exceptional efficiency.

Typically, propane tankless water heaters cost up to 60% less to operate than an electric tank water heater, while at the same time providing an endless supply of hot water.In addition, because the unit lacks a tank, the opportunity for corrosion is much less. That means the life expectancy is approximately 20 years, as opposed to 10 –15 years for a tank water heater. 

How flexible are the installation requirements?

Propane tankless water heaters can save a significant amount of space for homeowners because of their small footprint, and they can be mounted either inside or outside of the home.

Most propane tankless systems distribute between five and ten gallons of hot water per minute, so homeowners can be assured of a continuous supply of hot water.

On average, homeowners can save up to 60% in annual energy costs when compared to an electric tank water heater. Because the life expectancy of a propane tankless water heater is approximately 20 years, that adds up to a significant savings.
