Installing A Tankless Water Heater Reduces Pollution In Southern California

When you purchase a water heater, you're making a decision that affects the environment and your health. When a tankless water heater is properly and professionally installed you will use less energy, less water, reduce pollution, and make your local landfill happy.

Reduce Energy Consumption and its Environmental Impacts


The energy you use to heat your water comes from a variety of sources: coal, natural gas, and nuclear power. So when you use less energy by using a tankless water heater you'll make a positive environmental impact in the following ways...


No harmful waste bi-products

No expensive remediation costs

No depletion of the natural resource base, 
wildlife habitat loss, and biodiversity threats. 

You Can 

Reduce Pollution

Pilot lights on traditional water heaters are a very dirty source of pollution. When you think about it, pilot lights are polluting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's why organizations like the Southern Californian Air Resources Board are pushing so hard for tankless water heaters-reducing pollution by eliminating millions of standing pilot lights in the nations second largest city, Los Angeles. 



Reduce CO and Nox Emissions

Some tankless models receive approval for low emissions (CO, Nox). Tankless units are almost entirely recyclable. The materials in a tankless are very different from a traditional water heater. Every year more than 7 million used traditional water heaters are taken to landfills in the United States. A tankless water heater is, for the most part, recyclable, so they don't end up in your local landfill. It is estimated that if people replaced their traditional units with tankless there would be a savings of millions of gallons of oil each year, millions of gallons of propane, and billions of kilowatt hours.



Your Health

Believe it or not, hot water heaters have been associated with Legionnaire's disease-a bacterial respiratory disease similar to pneumonia. The bacteria is sometimes found in hot water systems that stagnates; like shower heads, water heaters, and faucets. Anytime there is a reservoir of standing water there is always a danger of bacteria and mold presenting themselves.
