A regular electric water heater uses a tank to store water and heats up the water stored in the tank. This has its positives and negatives. The electric water heater heats only the water that is stored in the tank and once the water is used up you need to let the tank fill again and wait for using it again. However the tanks are built keeping in mind the optimal usage for a person at one given point of time. Due to the water storage in electric gas heaters the damage rates are high because of the calcium deposits and the sediment collecting at the bottom of the tank. A gas tank less water heater does not store water to heat up. They work by constantly heating up the water as long as the water is being used or the tap is open.

However they also take long initially to heat up the water and there is an upper limit to how much water you can use at one time. They start heating the water once the faucet is turned on and this might increase the waiting time initially. However the gas water heaters are not prone to damage as much as the electric water heaters. Since there is no concept of tank and the heating element being submerged in water, there is no scope for the heating element to get damaged. Another big disadvantage could be that you may end up using much more water than you need because you need to leave the faucet open for the water to get heated and the hot water to start flowing. So on one hand if you are saving on electricity and power on the other hand you might be wasting water. If you could plan in such a way where you could make productive use of the water later then you can balance the equation.

In the end the gas tank less water heaters save energy and money. On an average you could save anything between $200 and $450 on heating by using gas tank less heaters on a yearly basis depending on the family size. However while choosing a tank less water heater select the size based on the nature of usage. Dishwashers can be set to colder temperatures for regular use and do not have to use hot water for every usage. So optimize your usage and plan accordingly.
