Can a tankless water heater fill a tub?
To further clarify, you can fill an oversized bathtub when you have a tankless water heater, but not when another appliance or fixture is using hot water. And, if the tub’s faucet delivers a heavy flow, you may have to slow down the water a little when filling it.
Can a tankless water heater freeze?
Still, the tankless hot water heater can freeze if certain precautions are not taken when the temperatures drop below a certain level. Most indoor and outdoor tankless water heaters have built-in freeze protection against temporary winter temperatures ranging from -5 degrees Fahrenheit to -22 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you have instant hot water with a tankless water heater?
As with a point-of-use water heater that includes a tank, a tankless point-of-use water heater can provide nearly instant hot water because of its location near the fixture that needs the hot water.
Can an outdoor tankless water heater be installed in a garage?
As long as enough combustion air is provided, tankless water heaters can be installed in place of your old water heater or anywhere in your home. This includes utility rooms, garages, basements, attics, or mounted on outside walls.
What is the downside of an electric tankless water heater?
The primary disadvantage of on demand or instant hot water heaters is the upfront cost. The smaller units that you often see won’t produce enough hot water to serve most households. They’ll only serve one faucet at a time—a problem if you want to shower while the dishwasher is running.
