the last person in the shower is stuck with nothing but cold water. Fortunately, tankless water heaters—also
referred to as on-demand water heaters—offer a solution. If you’re interested in making the switch, or just need
someone to repair your existing on-demand unit, give Hitech Central Air Inc. Heating & Air a call at (215) 608-7070.

For many households in Pittsburgh and Surround Areas, a traditional tanked unit is sufficient. It provides more than enough hot
water to get through the day. But, if any of the following apply, you might benefit from installing a tankless
water heater:
- You Take a Lot of Cold Showers: A tankless water heater's ability to produce continuous hot water means
never again suffering the discomfort and indignity of a cold shower.
- Space Concerns are an Issue:: Are you running out of places to store things? Could you use a free corner?
For those who live in cramped homes, swapping out a tanked unit for a tankless one is a great way to reclaim
lost space.
- Your Water Bills are Too High: Though on-demand water heaters in Pittsburgh and Surround Areas cost more upfront, they quickly
claw back that investment with efficiency savings. Since they only heat water when you need it, waste for
these systems is practically nonexistent.
The Advantages of a Tanker Water Heater
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Because they work on-demand, tankless water heaters only utilize fuel when it’s
needed. This leads to less usage of both water and energy.
- Longer Lifespans: When compared to your standard water heater, tankless ones last longer. The improved
durability allows you to spread your investment out over a longer period, offsetting the higher initial
purchase price.
- Smaller Footprints: Picture your typical water heater. There’s a bunch of pipes on top and bottom. Beneath
that is a large metal tank filled with hot water. At the bottom is a tray large enough to catch any leaks
from the system. With a tankless water heater, meanwhile, there’s just one small heating unit mounted on the
wall.
- No Flooding Risk: Imagine if something punctured your water heater or disconnected it from your pipes. It’d
be a disaster. Hundreds of gallons of water would flood your home, leading to mildew and long-term damage. A
tankless unit eliminates flooding risks.
Reasons On-Demand Water Heaters Aren’t for Everyone
Even with all the advantages of tankless systems, there are reasons every home hasn’t gone out and bought one.
Not everyone lives the same. Some households find the drawbacks of tankless water heating outweigh the benefits,
before jumping on the on-demand bandwagon, consider the following:
- Unit Cost: While they’ll save you money in the long term, tankless water heaters are expensive. For lower to
medium-income households, this price difference can put unit upgrades out of reach. Do note, however,
that Hitech Central Air Inc. Heating & Air provides a number of financing options to customers in the Pittsburgh and Surround Areas and Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Reading City areas.
- Installation Price: Because they require special set-up, installing an on-demand water heater can get
pricey. The cost of converting depends on numerous factors including your home’s square footage and current
water delivery system.
- Output Challenges: If your estimated water use was wrong before installation, you’ll still end up with cold
water issues. That’s why it’s best to leave tankless water heater repair and installation to our expert
plumbers. We’ve been serving Pittsburgh and Surround Areas for years, and our plumbing expertise shows it.
