Tankless Water Heater Services
Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater for Endless Hot Water on Demand
Are you tired of running out of hot water? A tankless water heater provides endless, energy-efficient hot water on demand, making it a great alternative to traditional water heaters. At Dor-Mart, we specialize in tankless water heater installation, repair, and maintenance, helping homeowners switch to modern, energy-saving solutions.
How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Unlike traditional hot water tanks that store and constantly heat water, tankless water heaters work on demand. This means they only heat water when needed, reducing standby energy loss and cutting utility bills. Here’s how they operate:
- Water enters the unit when a hot water tap is turned on.
- A gas burner or electric heating element instantly heats the water as it flows through the unit.
- Hot water is delivered directly to your faucets or appliances, without the need for a storage tank.
Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater
1. Endless Hot Water
Since a tankless system heats water on demand, you’ll never run out of hot water, even during back-to-back showers or while running multiple appliances.
2. Lower Energy Bills
Tankless water heaters use up to 30% less energy than traditional storage tanks because they don’t keep heating unused water. This can result in significant savings on your utility bills.
3. Longer Lifespan
A traditional water heater lasts 10-15 years, while a tankless water heater can last 20+ years with proper maintenance, making it a long-term investment.
4. Space-Saving Design
Tankless units are compact and wall-mounted, freeing up valuable space in your utility room, basement, or even outdoors.
5. Eco-Friendly Solution
By using less energy and reducing carbon emissions, a tankless water heater is a more sustainable option for homeowners looking to lower their environmental footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tankless Water Heaters
How long do tankless water heaters last?
Tankless water heaters typically last 20 years or more, compared to 10-15 years for traditional tank water heaters. Regular maintenance can help extend their lifespan.
Do tankless water heaters provide instant hot water?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, but they do not necessarily provide instant hot water. The time it takes to get hot water depends on the distance from the unit to the tap. However, adding a recirculation pump can speed up delivery time.
Can a tankless water heater run out of hot water?
No, a tankless water heater provides endless hot water as long as there is a sufficient water supply and heating capacity. However, multiple high-demand uses at the same time may require a larger unit or multiple units.
Are tankless water heaters more expensive to install?
Yes, the upfront cost of a tankless water heater is higher than a traditional unit due to installation requirements. However, the long-term energy savings and longevity often offset the initial investment.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To keep a tankless water heater running efficiently, we recommend annual maintenance, including:
- Flushing the unit to remove mineral buildup
- Checking the filters and gas lines for blockages
- Inspecting heating elements and sensors for wear
Can I replace my traditional water heater with a tankless one?
Yes, but converting from a traditional hot water tank to a tankless system may require modifications to your gas line, water line, and venting system. Our experts can assess your home and determine the best installation approach.
