Whether or not you decide to get a tankless water heater will depend on what’s right for you and your family. The main difference between a tankless hot water heater and a hot water tank is that tankless hot water heaters heat cold water as it flows through the unit from your water supply line.
They don’t have storage tanks like traditional hot water heaters, and the hot water is available on demand. Tankless water heaters are much smaller than traditional hot water tanks, so they’re a great option if you want to save space.
When choosing between condensing or non-condensing tankless water heaters, price isn’t the only consideration. Condensing units are approximately 16-18% more efficient than non-condensing units.
The condensing tankless hot water heater captures and recycles residual heat leftover from the heating process, which in turn will reduce your operating costs. This is why Hot Water Ottawa only provides condensing units to the people of Ottawa.

Benefits of Installing a Tankless Water Heater
While tankless hot water systems do cost more upfront, there are several advantages to consider:
- Lower energy costs: Depending on your usage, you could be saving between 30% and 70% on your energy bill. But your water heater needs to be properly sized.
- Endless supply of instant hot water: You don’t have to worry about running out of hot water (a problem for larger households), because you’ll get as much hot water as you can use.
- Energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint: There are no standby energy losses that come with heating a large amount of water you may never use. On average, tankless water heaters consume 30% less energy than conventional hot water heaters.
- Less chance of flooding: Most modern tankless water heaters have flood prevention built-in, which is something hot water tanks lack. If a breakdown would occur, you wouldn’t have to deal with a large tank of hot water leaking all over your utility room.
- Greater working lifespan: A tankless water heater can last 20 years or more, which is twice as long as a standard hot water tank.
- Less space: In a smaller home, every inch of floor space matters, and a tankless system will help you get more out of your space.
