At Emma Plumbing And Drain Services, we understand that every home has unique needs when it comes to water heating. Over the years, we’ve seen how homeowners are increasingly shifting from traditional water heaters to more energy-efficient, space-saving alternatives. One of the most popular choices is the tankless water heater. This advanced system provides an endless supply of hot water on demand, helping you save on both energy and water costs. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading your current system, we’re here to help you with expert tankless water heater installation services.
What is a Tankless Water Heater?
Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, tankless water heaters heat water on demand. This means that when you turn on your faucet or shower, cold water flows through the unit, where a gas burner or electric element heats it instantly. Because they don’t store water, tankless water heaters are often referred to as “on-demand” or “instant” water heaters.
This system is designed to be more efficient, providing hot water only when needed rather than continuously heating a tank of water. The result is not only energy savings but also space savings, as tankless units are typically much smaller and can be mounted on walls, freeing up valuable floor space in your home.
Why Choose a Tankless Water Heater?
There are several compelling reasons why many of our customers are opting for tankless water heaters:
- Energy Efficiency: Traditional water heaters continuously heat and reheat a tank full of water, which can lead to significant energy waste. In contrast, tankless water heaters only heat water when it’s needed, which can result in lower energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint.
- Endless Hot Water: With a tankless system, you’ll never run out of hot water. This is especially beneficial for larger families or homes with high hot water demand, such as those with multiple bathrooms, dishwashers, and washing machines in use simultaneously.
- Longevity: Tankless water heaters generally last longer than their traditional counterparts. While a typical storage tank water heater may last around 10-15 years, a tankless system can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance.
- Space Savings: Since tankless water heaters are compact, they can be installed in smaller spaces or mounted on a wall, which gives you more flexibility in where you place your unit. This is especially advantageous in homes with limited space or for homeowners looking to declutter their utility areas.
- Reduced Risk of Water Damage: Traditional water heaters with tanks are prone to leaks and even bursts, which can cause significant water damage. Because tankless systems don’t store water, the risk of flooding due to a failed water tank is eliminated.

Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for You?
While tankless water heaters offer many benefits, we recognize that they may not be the best solution for every home. Here are a few factors to consider:
- Initial Cost: Tankless water heaters tend to have a higher upfront cost than traditional tank systems. However, the long-term energy savings often offset this initial investment, making them a cost-effective solution over time.
- Installation Requirements: Depending on your home’s plumbing and electrical setup, installing a tankless water heater may require some additional work, such as upgrading gas lines or electrical circuits. Our team will evaluate your home to determine the scope of the installation and provide a detailed estimate.
- Maintenance: While tankless water heaters typically require less maintenance than traditional systems, they do need regular descaling to prevent mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water. Fortunately, we offer maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently.
The Environmental Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
At Emma Plumbing And Drain Services, we’re committed to promoting energy-efficient solutions that benefit both our customers and the environment. Tankless water heaters are an excellent option for reducing your home’s energy consumption and lowering your carbon footprint. By only heating water when it’s needed, tankless systems use significantly less energy than traditional models. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that tankless water heaters can be up to 34% more energy-efficient than conventional water heaters in homes that use less than 41 gallons of hot water per day.
Additionally, the longer lifespan of a tankless system means fewer units end up in landfills over time, contributing to less waste. By investing in a tankless water heater, you’re not only saving money but also helping to create a more sustainable future.
