Tankless Gas Water Heater

The GE tankless gas water heater provides what no old fashioned, tank style unit ever could: a continuous flow of precisely heated hot water. There’s no tank to run empty, or take up space. The concept design allows installation indoors or out – even in a closet, a garage or tucked away under the stairs. Multiple models are available to meet the needs of most every home.

The Environmental Challenge

Reducing carbon emissions is an important factor in reducing impact on the environment. Using GE’s Tankless Gas Water Heater rather than a standard 40-gallon gas tank model could help avoid up to 25 percent of CO2 emissions tied to water heating. Tank water heaters are the second highest user of power in a home, and using a GE Tankless Gas Water Heater rather than a standard 40-gallon gas tank model could save up to 25 percent in water heating costs on energy bills annually, based on 2007 fuel costs.

GE’s Innovative Solution

GE’s Tankless Gas Water Heater allows installation indoor or outdoors – in a closet, in a garage, even tucked away under the stairs. GE’s Tankless Gas Water Heater also offers precise temperatures with the ability to adjust the temperature. Constant monitoring and adjusting assures the hot water flowing from your faucet or showerhead remains consistently within +/- three degrees of the heaters set point. This product also offers demand-activated technology that allows the heating system to activate only when the hot water tap is opened and turns the heater off when the tap is closed. When sized properly, GE’s Tankless Gas Water Heater is capable of providing continuous hot water even when multiple showers, tubs, sinks, or appliances are in use at the same time. Remote control units are designed for wired installation right where you need them – in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room or any room. There’s no tank, which allows the continuous hot water to keep the unit from running empty and the water stays hot until you turn it off.

Environmental Impact

If all U.S. households purchasing a new gas water heater in a given year were to choose a GE Tankless Gas Water Heater rather than the standard 40-gallon gas tank water heater, at least 3.8 billion pounds of CO2 emissions would be avoided each year. These avoided annual emissions are equivalent to removing more than 318,000 cars from U.S. roads each year.

Cutting Costs

Operating a GE Tankless Gas Water Heater rather than a standard 40-gallon gas tank model could help consumers save up to 25 percent in water heating costs on their energy bill, saving up to $86 annually, based on 2007 fuel costs.
