Instantaneous Electric Hot Water Systems (HWS) are fast becoming the preferred choice in new homes due to their efficiency, cost-saving results, as well as their compact design when compared to traditional ‘hot water tank heaters’.
What are Instantaneous Electric Hot Water Systems?
Also known as ‘tankless water heaters’, Instantaneous Electric HWS provide an instant and unlimited supply of hot water to your home. Whenever you require hot water, an Instantaneous Electric HWS will promptly deliver hot water to your kitchen sink, shower, or other outlet.
How do Instantaneous Electric Hot Water Systems work?
With an Instantaneous Electric HWS in your home, when the hot water tap is turned on, cold water runs over the electric or gas heating element, which warms the water before it reaches you. Enjoy an instant and continuous flow of hot water instead of waiting for the storage tank to heat up, as you would with gas hot water tanks.
Why invest in an Instantaneous Electric Hot Water System?
Traditional ‘water tank heaters’ require a lot of energy or gas to warm your water for that hot shower or warm bath. When the hot water supply runs out and the water becomes cold, you then must wait for it to ‘reheat’ again. An Instantaneous Electric HWS, however, heats the water as it passes through the system, so you have an unlimited supply of hot water, with no risk of running out and having to wait for it to reheat. Because there is no storage limit, and the heating functionality running to meet your demands– you can enjoy continuous hot water. Say hello to nice, long hot showers!
Perfect Anywhere
Instantaneous Electric HWS are compact in size so they can be installed in smaller spaces like on the wall or cupboard inside the home or room of use (bathroom/kitchen/laundry). Gas storage HWS on the other hand are bulkier and can only be installed in limited areas outside.
Unlike a gas or electric storage HWS, an Instantaneous Electric HWS doesn’t require venting and it also doesn’t need an overflow valve or drain to prevent flooding.
Saving money, resources and reducing emissions
Besides the fact that hot water is supplied instantly, an Instantaneous Electric HWS is more efficient and economical than a gas-tank water heater for multiple reasons:
- Save energy by eliminating standby usage like that in storage tanks.
- Only heating and using energy when hot water is required.- Reduces heat loss from stored hot water.
- Economical flow reduces the overall amount of hot water consumed.
- “Greener” on-demand hot what that’s less harmful than gas-powered systems.
Instantaneous Electric HWS are available in many sizes and capacities from leading brands like Stiebel, Eltro and Zip that will meet your needs, budget and lifestyle.
