Some of the benefits of installing a tankless water heater vs a conventional storage tank style water heater include:

• Conventional storage tanks are always on, heating and reheating water to a set temperature, a tankless heats water on demand.
• Conventional storage tanks have a set capacity, typically between 30 and 60 gallons depending on your model.  Once you use that amount you have to wait for the water heater.  With a tankless water heater you have endless hot water.
• Conventional storage tanks are big and bulky, A tankless water heater hangs on the wall, about the size of a small suitcase, freeing up valuable square footage in your home.
• The life expectancy of a conventional storage tank water heater is 12-15 years.  Tankless have a expected life of 20+ years.
• The most efficient storage tank has an energy factor of about .67, but, according to Energy Star, some tankless units have energy factors as high as .95
• Most tankless water heater models qualify for up to $1500 in federal tax credits.
• Tankless is a green technology, saving energy and resources. Also because the unit is significantly smaller in size when the time comes to dispose of a unit it takes up much less landfill space.

Upfront cost is higher on a tankless water heater due to the cost of the unit and installation.  This cost will be recouped in energy savings over the life of the unit.
