Instantaneous water heaters, also called instant or on-demand instantaneous water heaters, offer many advantages over conventional instantaneous water heaters and can represent a large long-term investment.

But like every product, they have their disadvantages and are not the right solution for every house.

Unlike traditional water heaters, which continuously consume energy to maintain the hot water supply, non-tank water heaters only use energy when you open a hot water tap or when you use machines.

This on-demand operating style leads to their greatest advantage. Energy and cost savings.

In addition to saving energy and costs, there are several other reasons to choose a tankless water heater instead of a conventional water heater. Instantaneous heaters produce an infinite amount of hot water, take up less space, have a lower risk of leakage, are safer and on average have a considerably longer service life.

The main disadvantage of instantaneous water heaters is that their purchase costs (unit and installation) are considerably higher than for instantaneous water heaters. Including installation, water heaters cost on average three times as much as water heaters.
