A tankless water heater is considered to be more efficient. This is mostly because they are able to provide hot water on demand without wasting energy on heating water that isn’t being used. Tanks store heated water and heat up the entire tank, even when you’re not using it. This wastes energy because the heater has to reheat the whole tank when you do need hot water.
Tankless water heaters provide less wait time for hot water! No more complaining about cold showers, you won’t have that problem with a tankless water heater, which can heat a continual stream of water for as long as it’s needed.
Tankless heaters offer several distinct advantages over traditional tank units. These heaters are about 24% to 34% more energy efficient in homes with smaller families, or those using less than 41 gallons of water daily, but even homes where more water is used can see significant energy savings.
