• A traditional water heater heats and stores anywhere from 20 to 80 gallons of ready to use hot water. When the shower or any appliance that needs hot water is used preheated water is pulled from the top of the tank and flows where you need it. The heater pulls in cold water to heat and is prepared for future use.
• Traditional storage water heaters are attractive because they have relatively less expensive compared to other options such as tankless water heaters. While tankless water heaters are more efficient, tank water heaters can still be efficient and meet the needs of most homes.

Tankless water heaters provide and endless supply of hot water on demand. Rather than using energy to heat and store hot water, it only heats water as it is needed by the shower, tub or appliance. Some Advantages of tankless are below:                               

• Tankless water heaters are 8-35% more energy efficient than traditional tanked heaters according to energy.gov.
• Most tankless heaters have a 20 year life expectancy which is about double that of a tanked option.
• Tankless water heaters almost never run out of hot water.
• They are much more efficient as they do not use energy to keep water heated on standby.
• They take up much less room than tanked water heaters.
• Most tankless heaters carry a federal tax rebate.
