True to their name, electric tankless water heaters operate without the use of a holding and heating tank for hot water.  Instead, they only heat the water as it is needed, and they heat it instantaneously in the pipe.

Therefore, whenever you turn on the hot water spigot anywhere in your house, whether at the sink, in the shower, or by turning on the washing machine, the heater instantly goes to work. 

By operating in this way, the heater can save you money by using less electricity. 

Installing a Tankless Water Heater

Now, replacing a broken down water heater is never fun to do. First of all, you have to track down a new heater, and then you have to haul off the old tank and strap in and connect the new one. 

However, there is a new development with water heaters that makes swapping your old heater for a new one a no brainer.  

This new type of water heater is called a tankless hot water heater, and it holds several advantages over more traditional tank water heater models.

First of all, installing these newer electric tankless water heaters is a snap compared to the process required to install one of the older heaters.   

You simply need a lot less technical know how to install a tankless unit than you do to install an old-school tank heater.

If you are a "do it yourself" type, then it's quite likely you will be able to  install your new tankless heater all by yourself, or at least with the aid of a simple class at the Home Depot.

Just imagine the money you can save not having to worry about hiring a if you do have to hire a licensed plumber.  Just the labor alone can add up to quite a bit, and they also tend to charge more for the heater unit itself.

Another benefit of electric tankless water heaters is that they can be more environmentally friendly. Tankless heaters use less energy to operate, since they only run when you actually need the water, rather than continuously heating the water in a tank.

You can save money on your monthly electric bill and also help the environment by using less energy.

It's also true that you can use less water with a tankless heater, because it can take less time "running" the shower to get it hot.

There are some that claim that an environmental downside to tankless heaters is that they use short bursts of electricity to heat water, rather than the more even if greater electric usage of tank heaters.

The final upside to electric tankless water heaters is the sheer convenience of these units.  Since the water is heated instantly, you don't have to wait for it to reach the shower from your tank. 

Furthermore, they take up way less room, so they are great if you don't have a basement for your heater.
