Tank vs. tankless: which should I get?
Tankless lasts 20+ years (tanks 10-12), uses 30% less energy, and gives endless hot water. Upfront cost is 2-3x a tank install. Payback period typically 7-10 years. For households of 4+ with high hot water use, tankless wins. Smaller households with limited budget, tank still makes sense.
