What Else Should You Know?

Tankless water heaters can be point-of-use or whole-house systems. The former are small and only heat water for a particular area, such as a kitchen sink. On the other hand, whole-house tankless water heaters are larger and deliver water to multiple units, from fixtures to appliances.

There are also condensing and non-condensing tankless water heaters. Condensing tankless water heaters reuse the exhaust gas to further heat the water, reducing heat loss while non-condensing tankless water heaters exhaust most of the excess heat outside.

Is It Right For You?

We recommend having a tankless water heater installation when:

  • You will be staying in the same place for long
  • You have a bigger household that needs constant hot water
  • You have a smaller property, which means needing a smaller water heater
  • You prioritize environmentally friendly features
  • You can stick to an annual maintenance schedule

However, do note that:

  • Tankless water heaters tend to cost more upfront.
  • Having multiple tankless units may be necessary if you have a larger home.
  • There could be additional costs involved, especially if a water softener or a gas line is needed.
  • There could be a lag time heating the water.

Which Tankless System to Choose?

Tankless water heaters use either gas or electricity as an energy source. An electric tankless water heater can be more affordable it doesn’t require a gas vent but tends to have a lower flow rate. Meanwhile, gas tankless water heaters may have higher upfront costs, require ventilation, and you may need to schedule a gas line installation. They also need more maintenance.

Tankless Water Heater FAQs

Are tankless water heaters more expensive?

Yes — the upfront cost for the unit and installation is generally higher than a traditional tank system. However, many homeowners see long-term savings on utility bills due to increased efficiency and fewer energy losses.

How long does a tankless water heater last?

Tankless water heaters typically last up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance — significantly longer than traditional tank heaters which average around 10–15 years.

Do tankless water heaters require maintenance?

Yes, especially in areas with hard water. Annual descaling and flushing are recommended to remove mineral buildup and maintain efficiency. Without maintenance, efficiency and lifespan can decrease significantly.

How do I know if a tankless water heater is right for my home?

Tankless systems are ideal if:
✔ You want continuous hot water
✔ You’re planning on staying in your home long term
✔ You’re looking to reduce energy costs and footprint
However, they may not be the best choice if you need very high flow rates at once without additional units or upgrades.

What’s the difference between electric and gas tankless models?

Electric tankless heaters are usually cheaper to install and don’t need ventilation, but they may have a lower flow rate. Gas tankless heaters often provide stronger performance but may require venting and gas line adjustments.

Can a tankless heater supply multiple fixtures at once?

Yes — but the flow rate matters. If multiple showers or appliances run at the same time, you may need a higher-capacity unit or more than one tankless water heater to meet your household’s demand.

Does ProStar Plumbing & Heating install and service all types of tankless heaters?

Yes — ProStar Plumbing & Heating offers full tankless water heater installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement services for homeowners in Calgary and surrounding areas.
