Tankless water heaters are dominating the home appliance market right now. Perhaps this has you wondering why. The video below dispels several common fallacies about tankless water heaters, including the ones you may be hearing from plumbers.
You shouldn't buy a tankless water heater based only on the idea that it produces hot water at the speed of light. Although it comes quite rapidly, it is not instantaneous.

The distance between the water heater and the tap determines how quickly hot water will flow.
You may have heard that moving from a traditional water heater to a tankless model can help you save money. This is not true.
Using a tankless water heater can cost an average family 225 dollars in gas over the course of a year. Therefore, a tankless water heater uses about $19 per month in natural gas compared to a conventional tank, which consumes about 315 dollars annually, or 26 dollars per month. The difference is only approximately $7, which is quite little and barely noticeable.
An inspection is required, but there isn't really a defined period when you should call plumbers to service a tankless water heater because it all depends on how hard the water is. If there is a buildup of mineral deposits, the scale detection software will display an error warning, and you will then need to service it.
