There are some interesting ways in which people search tank less water heaters, this includes the spelling I just mentioned. Tank less hot water heaters, technically that is exactly what a tankless is. A tankless is a unit that produces hot water on demand, no storage or storage tank needed.

Have these systems become popular? I would say that they are on the edge of becoming very popular. As energy prices continue to climb we see more and more innovative products coming out helping to reduce energy use. In Toronto, the GTA, and the numerous towns and cities that encompass Ontario mostly utilize hot water tank type systems. A conventional tank is around 60% efficient when it is first built and efficiency is reduced by about 2% per year due to scale and lime buildup. A tank less hot water heater starts life between 82% and 95% efficiency but, like the conventional hot water tank, is also subject to a 2% efficiency loss per year. The benefits of a tank less system is that it is designed to have the offending scale and lime removed easily restoring the original efficiency.
