Tankless water heaters offer several advantages, including endless hot water, space-saving design, longer lifespan (typically 20+ years), and reduced energy costs over time. They also have lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional water heaters.
While tankless water heaters have many benefits, there are some drawbacks to consider. They can have higher upfront costs than traditional water heaters, and their flow rate may be limited, especially in colder climates.
