The new line of GE[R] tankless gas water heaters provides a continuous supply of hot water1 when and where you need it. Unlike conventional water tanks that heat and store hot water around the clock, GE's tankless gas water heater only activates when you start to use hot water, and immediately de-activates when you are done.

Demand-activated technology also translates into significant energy savings. A GE tankless gas water heater could help homeowners save up to 35 percent annually on water heating costs compared to the operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  of a standard 75-gallon gas tank water heater.

The tankless system delivers continuous hot water at the precisely heated temperature to every faucet, fixture or appliance in the home.1 The electronic digital control allows the homeowner to adjust the hot water temperature at the touch of a button, while the Precise Temp feature keeps water temperature within three degrees (+/-) of the heater's set point.

Available in both outdoor and indoor models, the tankless gas water heater's compact footprint (approximately 23-inches in height by 14-inches in width by 10 inches deep; and weighing 50 pounds) allows installation in attics, garages, closets or other out-of-the-way locations.
