The main disadvantage of these systems other than their high initial costs (equipment and installation) is the required yearly maintenance. In order to provide on-demand, continuous hot water, tankless units use heat exchangers with many small passageways consisting of parallel plates or tubes.
An ordinary electric shower often but not always has three heat settings: high (5.5 kW), low (2.5 kW), or cold (0 W) to use when a central heater system is available or in hot seasons.
