Demand Water Heater ­ A new "tankless" water heater that has no storage tank and therefore no `stand-by' heat loss. Cold water travels through a pipe into the unit, and either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water only when needed, resulting in energy savings and nearly endless hot water. It usually takes less than 2 minutes to heat the water on demand. This is a small price to pay for significant energy savings. 4. 5. ENERGYTIP! In the wintertime, minimize your use of kitchen/bath ventilation fans. In just one hour they can draw all the heated air from a home! What's your Question?
