ENERGY STAR qualified gas tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, plus a whole lot more. Consider a qualified tankless water heater for your home and enjoy these benefits.
Save Energy and Money.You don't use hot water 24-hours a day. Yet a standard tank-type water heater consumes energy round the clock to keep the water in its tank hot. By heating water only when you need it, ENERGY STAR qualified tankless water heaters save the typical family more than $175 per year on gas bills compared to a standard storage model. Larger families can save even more.
Continuous Hot Water.Tankless water heaters provide a continuous flow of hot water, so there's no need to suffer through a cold shower if you're the last one out of bed. Unlike with a conventional tank-type water heater, the hot water is always there when you need it.
Space-saving design. A qualified tankless model saves you an extra closet's worth of space compared to a tank-type water heater. Gas tankless water heaters are small and wall-mounted, unlike bulky tank-type water heaters. Models designed for outdoor installation free up even more space and add versatility to your basement, garage, or utility room.
Fewer Worries.Tankless water heaters have a life expectancy of 20 years, much longer than any conventional tank-type water heater. And with a tankless model, the risk of tank leaks and water damage is a thing of the past.

Purchasing Tips — Whole-Home Gas Tankless Water Heaters ENERGY STAR qualified gas tankless water heaters are currently available from contractors and retailers. If you are building a new home, or in the market to replace your existing gas water heater, consider these purchasing tips:
Plan ahead if you can. If you want to replace your current gas water heater don't wait until it fails, as this will leave little time to choose and install a qualified ENERGY STAR tankless model. Because installation may require the upgrade of your existing natural gas line, as well as special venting or electric service, you will need to allow sufficient time to evaluate costs and complete the change out. To make your life easier, try to have a new one installed before it's an emergency.
Decide what size you need.While the capacity of gas storage water heaters is based on the number of gallons that will fit in the tank, tankless models are rated by how many gallons of hot water they produce per minute (GPM). The more likely you are to have the shower, dishwasher, and clothes washer going at once, the larger the GPM you will need. You will need to consult with an experienced plumber to estimate the hot water demands in your home, but here are some average figures:
Shower and Bathtub — 2.5 GPM
Clothes Washer — 3.3 GPM
Kitchen and Bathroom Sink — 2.2 GPM
Dishwasher — 1.3 GPM
Get a quote from a contractor or retailer.
The installer should confirm the optimal GPM size for you home, determine whether your existing natural gas line and electrical service is sufficient, and identify how the combustion gases will be vented. When requesting a quote, remember to: Request cost estimates in writing.
Search for rebates and tax credits. You may be able to reduce your costs by taking advantage of rebates or tax credits. Be sure to review the eligibility rules before you make your purchase.
