A traditional water heater can waste up to 9 gallons waiting for the hot water to travel through the pipes to the faucet. We all understand that water is a valuable resource and in some areas is a very expensive utility. The ability to have immediate access to hot water may save you a lot of money on your water bill and be good for the environment.
Pro #3 Tankless Water Heater Saves Space

Pro #4 Less Maintenance
Traditional water heaters need more maintenance. Once a year a water heater needs to be drained so all of the water and sentiments that settle at the bottom of the tank can be removed. If you do not drain your water heater on an annual basis, it can increase the chances of your water heater holding less water over time and the possibility of exploding due to the built up pressure.
