On-Demand Water Heaters for Wichita

On-demand water heaters, which are also called instant water heaters or flash water heaters, are already extremely popular in countries in Europe and in Japan, and they're rapidly becoming more popular in the US. They offer several advantages over traditional water heaters, and our Wichita HVAC contractors would confidently recommend them to any homeowner in the Wichita area. These types of water heaters are much more efficient than traditional water heaters, and they can help you conserve resources and energy.

The professional heating services at Ball Heating and Air Conditioning can install on-demand water heaters throughout your home promptly and professionally.

Conserve Energy with On-Demand Water Heaters

One of the biggest problems that traditional water heaters have is that they keep a tank of water full constantly and have to maintain its heat at all times. The water needs to be kept at high temperatures so it's ready for you when you need it, but maintaining that temperature requires a lot of energy—most of which is wasted.

On-demand water heaters can eradicate this problem of wasted energy, which can help you significantly lower the amount of energy you use in your Wichita home. These water heaters heat water only when it is needed by using coils that are located near all of your faucets. By heating up the amount of water you need right when you need it, these water heaters use much less energy and can also help you conserve water.

On-demand water heaters function by heating up a small set of coils to extreme temperatures. As water passes through these coils, it's heated. So on-demand water heaters will provide you with instant hot water, and use much less energy to get it to you.

Should You make the Switch?
