Additionally, we’ll introduce two exclusive offers from Bishop Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, that can save you up to $750 on a new tankless water heater and up to $500 on any size high-efficiency water heater.
Tankless Water Heaters: Efficient and Convenient
Traditional water heaters always keep water hot in a tank, which can waste energy. In contrast, tankless water heaters heat water only when you need it. When you turn on the hot water tap, the tankless unit quickly warms the water, ensuring you never run out of hot water.
Choosing the Right Tankless Water Heater
To make an informed choice for your hot water needs, follow these steps:
- Determine Your Hot Water Usage: Calculate your household’s hot water consumption.
- Assess the Maximum Flow Rate: Add up the flow rates of all your hot water devices to determine the capacity your tankless water heater should handle.
- Consider Your Location: Recognize that the water temperature in your area impacts how much your tankless water heater needs to heat. Keep this in mind when selecting a unit.
Considering these factors, you can choose a tankless water heater that caters to your specific hot water needs while providing energy-efficient performance.

Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential for tankless water heaters efficient and reliable operation. Consult with our professional plumber to ensure the correct installation and maintenance, as these units may require additional considerations, such as electrical outlets and ventilation systems.
