Tank vs. Tankless. What's the difference?
The difference, of course, lies in the tank itself. A tank heater holds a certain amount of water that is kept at a constant temperature.
When that hot water has been used, there is no reserve, and you’re out of hot water until another tank can be heated. A tankless heater brings the water to temperature only as you need it.
Because it is able to heat water on demand, you never run out. It’s also more efficient and cost-effective because you no longer need to constantly heat water even when you’re not using it.
