Tankless water heaters are generally more energy-efficient because they only heat water when it is needed. Traditional water heaters must continually heat and maintain the temperature of the stored water, which can result in energy waste.

Tankless water heaters generally have a longer lifespan compared to traditional tank-style water heaters, and typically last between 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.
