Tankless Water Heater
Switch to a Tankless Water Heater
Want to save energy and cut down on utility bills? A tankless water heater from ZEN Air Heating and Cooling delivers hot water only when needed—no tank, no waste. These space-saving, energy-smart systems are perfect for today’s homes.
What Is a Tankless Water Heater?
Also called demand or instant water heaters, these systems heat water only when you need it. Unlike traditional tanks, they deliver endless hot water on demand—saving space and reducing energy use.
How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water is directed into a tankless water heater. Inside the unit, either a gas burner or an electric heating element quickly raises the water temperature as it passes through. The main parts of the system include:
Flow Sensor: Triggers the heating process by detecting the movement of water.
Heat Exchanger: Transfers energy from the heating source to the flowing water.
Control Unit: Regulates temperature and ensures steady, reliable hot water.
Ventilation (for gas systems): Removes exhaust gases safely to the outside.
This on-demand heating method eliminates the energy loss associated with storing hot water, helping reduce overall energy consumption and utility bills.

Choosing the Right Tankless Water Heater
When choosing a tankless water heater, it’s important to weigh several key factors:
- Condensing vs. Non-Condensing: Condensing units are more efficient but cost more upfront. Non-condensing models are cheaper but may need pricier venting.
Fuel Type: Gas heats faster and handles more demand. Electric is easier to install but suits smaller needs.
Installation: Units can go indoors or outdoors, depending on your plumbing and venting setup.
Size: Pick a model that matches your household size and hot water use.
