Tank or Tankless…That is the Question.

How old do you think the tankless water heater is?  Well, it was introduced 90 years ago!  That is hard to believe isn’t it?  Over the years, tankless water heaters have become know as “on demand” units.  They heat the water ONLY when you turn it on.  That eliminates the extra cost of constantly heating 40-50 gallons of water in a storage tank.

So, what are the disadvantages of tankless?  The primary disadvantage of on demand or instant hot water heaters is the upfront cost. The smaller units that you often see won’t produce enough hot water to serve most households.  Remember that those units only serve one faucet at a time so, no showers while you are doing the dishes!
