Advanced Plumbing Systems goes into detail with information to help anyone considering a tankless water heater.

“There are 2 types of tankless water heaters, electric or gas and each has some basic requirements that make the difference on whether or not it will work for you” explains Bob

Electric tankless water heaters…..

  “Electric tankless water heaters need a lot of power to run”  Bob goes on to say. He asks the following questions….  What room for more fuses or breakers do you have in your electrical panel? Are you maxed out now with no room for any more circuits? “Most models take 4-6 40amp breakers, so consult an electrician if you are unsure”  says  Bob.   “Electric tankless water heaters may be your only option if you have no gas available to your home” notes Bob

Gas tankless water heaters……..

“Gas tankless water heaters are the most common type installed. However there are a few things to make sure you have,  if you want to know if it will work for you” he goes on to explain.  “Whether natural or lp gas, as long as you have gas coming into your home for other appliances you can rest assure, as far as the gas requirement goes, you are covered, although it may have to connect to a large enough size gas pipe or a larger size regulator,  but it can be done”  continues Bob.

The last but important hurdle, Bob explains….”is the venting ,  models that are less efficient can still use a chimney, but are used only when there is just no other way to vent out to an outside wall” warns Bob.  “The best and most efficient tankless water heaters require 2 PVC pipes, one exhaust, one intake pipe to work, so as long as you can get to an outside wall you should be good to go” ends  Bob’s explanation
