Get efficient hot water on demand.
Our team can upgrade your home with a tankless water heater.
For some families in the Hampton Roads area, every day is a struggle to have enough hot water to meet daily needs like showers, dishwashing, clothes washing and cleaning. One option to resolve the problem might be to install a larger capacity water heater, but often, space can be an issue. At Russell’s, we’ve found that tankless water heaters are a great solution for many families who hope to improve hot water comfort, reduce costs and free up valuable space.
What Makes a Tankless Water Heater Different?
Tankless water heaters are often called “on-demand” water heaters because they only heat water, using either natural gas or electricity, when a hot tap is turned on. They are extremely energy efficient and provide considerable energy savings because they only heat when hot water is needed, instead of heating a large tank of water all the time. According to EnergySaver.com, most households can save about $100 annually and always have hot water by installing a tankless water heater.
How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?
Inside a tankless water heater, cool water is drawn through a series of coils that are quickly brought up to the desired temperature using gas or electricity. As hot water is drawn, the unit continues to heat until the hot water tap is turned off. For added savings, condensing tankless water heaters redirect excess heat to warm cold tap water. This recycling saves energy because the unit starts with slightly warmer tap water and even less energy is required to reach the desired temperature.
