How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Unlike traditional water heaters that store gallons of hot water in a tank, tankless systems heat water on demand. That means you’re not constantly heating a tank of water—you’re only using energy when you actually need hot water. The result? Greater efficiency, unlimited hot water, and more space in your home.
Here’s how it works:
- When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water flows through a heat exchanger in the unit
- The system rapidly heats the water as it passes through
- Hot water is delivered directly to your tap, with no waiting on a tank to refill
Because there’s no storage tank, tankless systems don’t suffer from standby heat loss—and they’re often mounted on the wall, freeing up floor space in utility rooms, closets, or garages.

Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
If you’re wondering whether a tankless water heater is right for your home, consider the most common reasons Glen Allen homeowners make the switch. Whether you're planning a remodel, replacing a failing unit, or simply looking to save energy, tankless could be a smart move.
Some advantages of going tankless include:
- Endless hot water – Perfect for households with multiple bathrooms or busy mornings, tankless units heat water as you go, so you’ll never run out.
- Lower energy bills – These systems only run when needed, reducing your monthly utility costs over time.
- Longer lifespan – On average, tankless units last up to 20 years—much longer than most tank models.
- Space-saving design – With no bulky tank, you’ll reclaim valuable square footage in your home.
- Cleaner water – No standing water in a tank means less risk of rust, scale buildup, or bacterial growth.
Whether you’re upgrading an older unit or installing a new system as part of a renovation, we’ll help you choose a tankless model that fits your household’s hot water demand and energy goals.
