How a tankless unit heats water
A tankless heater heats water as it flows through the unit. A flow sensor tells the unit water is moving, the gas burner ignites, and the heat exchanger warms the water on its way to the tap.
Because there is no stored hot water, the unit must respond quickly every time a tap opens. A fault in flow sensing, ignition or the heat exchanger shows up as cold or inconsistent water.
