You're in the right place. At Big B's Plumbing, we've been installing tankless water heaters in Fallbrook for close to a decade. Tankless water heaters are also known as on-demand water heaters because they heat the water as you need it. It eliminates the need for a storage tank heater sitting in your garage. Additionally, the life expectancy of these heaters is 20 years compared to 10 to 15 for a storage tank heater. When you purchase a new tankless water heater, you're also eliminating some of the problems associated with storage tank heaters, such as leaks and water damage.

How Does Am On-Demand Water Heater Work

Many of our customers ask, “How do tankless water heater work?” Your on-demand heater has a heating element and when the hot water is turned to “on”, and cold water is pulled through a pipe into the unit, heating the water instantly. However, once the small amount of water initially left in the pipe is released, you'll have a steady flow of unlimited hot water. The average rate of hot water delivered is 2 - 5 gallons per minute. Much of that will vary based on the size of the unit purchased and if your unit is gas or electric. Generally, natural gas models have a higher flow rate than electric.
