Tankless water heaters come in gas and electric versions, and the two are very different in what they can do. Gas units handle more flow, while electric units are simpler to install.
The gas
A gas tankless delivers higher flow rates and can serve a whole house, but it needs a gas line and proper venting.
The electric
An electric tankless is compact and needs no vent, but it draws a large electrical load and handles less flow.
The use
Electric units are often used for point-of-use or small loads, while gas serves whole-home demand.
The service
Electric tankless units need heavy wiring, and gas units need annual maintenance. hard water is common, and summer heat and shifting soils put pressure on underground lines In Midlothian, the existing utilities often decide it.
The load
A whole-home tankless is almost always gas, because electric units cannot keep up with multiple fixtures. Electric suits a single sink or a small addition.
