Should I get a tank or tankless water heater?

Tank water heaters cost less upfront ($1,500-$2,500 installed) and work well for most homes. Tankless models cost more ($3,000-$5,000 installed) but provide endless hot water and lower operating costs. We'll help you decide based on your household size, hot water usage, and budget.
