Should I Switch to a Tankless Water Heater?
Far from the upstart little devices that homeowners once looked at with a lot of skepticism, tankless water heaters are becoming a lot more common. You can still choose between a traditional tank-style model and a tankless one that produces hot water as you need it. Both are readily available. But if you've toyed with the idea of making the switch to hot water on demand, here's what you can expect.
Nobody wants to think about replacing a water heater, but this is one appliance that falls into the "better safe than sorry" category. Poor efficiency eats up energy and costs you dearly on utility bills. But even more worrisome is the possibility of a leak that turns into a flood.
