WHAT IS AN INSTANT GAS HOT WATER SYSTEM?
An instant gas hot water system has a range of names, including:

Tankless gas hot water system
Instantaneous gas hot water system
Continuous flow gas hot water system
On-demand gas hot water system
They are generally quite small and are located on the wall, heating water as needed instead of heating and then storing it. They are also one of the most efficient, if not the most efficient, hot water systems available.

HOW DOES AN INSTANT GAS HOT WATER SYSTEM WORK?
Instantaneous gas hot water systems, as their name suggests, run on gas and function by propelling cold water through a pipe made of copper – known as a heat exchanger – that has heat applied to it directly.
