What’s the Difference Between Tank and Tankless Water Heaters?

Your water heater provides you with a steady supply of hot water, these appliances give you confidence every time you turn on the tap for a bath or to do the dishes. However, there are many distinctions and varieties of water heaters, and understanding these will help you pick the right one.

The main distinction is between tank and tankless water heaters. Tank water heaters keep a supply of heated water on hand for your use. Heating the water either by gas or electricity, the tank water heater keeps the water ready for use, at a particular warm temperature.

Tankless water heaters are a different path to the same result. Instead of storing a supply of pre-heated water, they (extremely quickly) heat up water as you need it. Without a tank, these take up less space, which means they’re easier to put into a smaller spot.
