Tankless FAQ: How do electric tankless water heaters compare
to gas tankless water heaters in regards to piping & venting requirements for tankless installations? Electric tankless water heaters do not require expensive
vent piping, but may require an electric service upgrade. Electric tankless are more suitable for point-of-use installations to save more energy and water. These units work well for low flow applications for which gas tankless units typically are not best suited. Coilless Technology-enabled electric tankless water heaters from AHI Technologies are also suited for taking care of multiple major applications in a household.
