Tank vs Tankless Water Heaters
Tank type heaters are more cost effective on the initial installation. A tankless heater will usually be at least double the cost up front, but may save money in the long run.
Tankless heaters can produce endless hot water whereas a tank type heater will have limited amounts of hot water.
Tankless heaters can be installed on the outside of the house which means there will be no chances of leaks inside your home or business.
Tankless heaters take up less space, and are more efficient. They do not run unless someone is using hot water. Whereas tank type heaters keep heating water even if no one is home.

Does A Water Heater Need Maintenance?
Yes, a water heater should be flushed every year as regular upkeep to help them reach their ideal life expectancy. A tank type heater should be drained to release sediment. Whereas tankless heaters should be flushed with a special solution to remove scale build up.
