Sometimes called an on-demand water heater, tankless water heaters operate differently than traditional storage tank heaters. Instead of the always-on, finite supply of hot water that conventional tank heaters provide, a tankless system uses energy only on demand, providing hot water when needed.

Watch this video for a head-to-head, or rather a gut-to-gut comparison of traditional water heaters to tankless water heaters. You’ll see how tankless heaters can lower water use by up to 20% and save 60% of energy compared to conventional water heaters. If you haven’t trouble deciding between the two systems, this comparison should help.
