Tank or tankless water heater for 3-family home?

So, that’s why you’re seeing savings. Families who use tankless water heaters throughout the day typically don’t see fuel savings with them. The long periods of inactivity are where seasonal efficiency is gained.

Definitely helpful. I have encountered water warming to be slow even in traditional boiler and tank systems if the pipe run is a floor or more.

Ceci, what is your usage like? Is this water heater working for a family? A single? Is it used during the daytime or is the house typically empty?
