Instantaneous water heaters, also known as tankless water heaters, use less electricity, because they only produce hot water when it is needed. The old-style tank water heater uses a lot of electricity to produce hot water that is never used or that stands so long it experiences heat loss. Using a Takagi Flash Series tankless water heater will produce plenty of hot water while using less electricity and saving you money.

They save money by saving energy, mainly due to less spent on standby losses. Water heating adds up to be 20 % of a family household’s yearly expenditures.
