Regular waters are the most popular in the US. They heat the water by electricity, gas, propane or oil. They have a large capacity, holding anywhere from 20 gallons on up to 80 gallons or more. It takes a large amount of energy to power the heater and warm all that water to the desired temperature. The bad part is you can run out of hot water and wait a while for the water to heat up again.  The other bad part is how much that energy can cost you.

Tankless water heaters are basically, hot water “on demand”. Gas or electricity will heat the water instantly when you want it. Now you get hot water when you want it and you won’t run out of hot water. They tend to save money since they are only on when you need hot water.
