Tankless Water Heater Ottawa
Get an endless supply of hot water for less
A tankless water heater provides instantaneous hot water when needed. It is also called an on-demand water heater. This feature makes it the most efficient water heater in the market today. Heating water only when it’s needed provides energy savings not found with hot water tanks (storage tanks). Also available in combination boiler, which can provide both hot water as well as main source of heat for residential and commercial HVAC applications.

How to choose tankless water heater?
When selecting the right tankless water heater for your home, you need to consider several important facts before you buy. Those facts are:
- Fuel Type: You have two options to choose from; one is gas-fired tankless water (like Navien or Rheem) or an electric tankless water heater.
- Demand: How much hot water you need at once depends on how many adults are living in your residents. Are you considering to heat up the water at multiple bathroom sinks and kitchen or an entire house or condo apartment (whole house application)?
- Size: The flow rate is especially important, since Tankless Water Heaters will generate a temperature rise based on the flow rate demanded. For example, a tankless system is capable to generate enough on-demand hot water to have up to 4 showers and kitchen sink hot water on instantaneously.
- Application: Depending on the size of the tankless it can supply enough hot water on demand for various applications which is either in replacement of a conventional storage tank water heater in a typical residential home or hydronic heating supplied by a combination tankless water heater (also called combi-boilers) to provide both hot water, and heating up an entire house.
How does tankless water heater work?
The second you turn on the water tab the tankless system receives the signal to heat up the water as it flows through, supplying you with endless hot water. Hot water tanks run out of hot water when you take multiple draws in a row from the tank. For example when you are doing your laundry and dishes and someone else is taking a shower, they might end up getting cold water before they are done.
Since, condensing tankless water heaters only provide hot water when you need it and can provide an endless supply of hot water, you never have to worry about running out of hot water no matter how many hot water draws you have in a row.
To help explain “condensing technology,” just imagine a cold glass of ice water with condensation surrounding the glass. This condensation is created inside the heat exchanger of the tankless system from the incoming cold water cooling the hot gases inside the unit. Than, the heat exchanger traps this condensation and uses it over and over, making the entire process highly efficient, in comparison to conventional tanks where this condensation (or vapours & gasses) would escape through the vents.
