A tankless water heater heats water on demand and only when needed, while a traditional tank water heater continuously heats and stores 30–80 gallons of water.
Tankless units cost more upfront to install but last longer (15–20 years vs. 8–12 years), take up less space, and typically use less energy since they aren't heating standing water around the clock.
Traditional tank units cost less initially and are often simpler and faster to install, which makes them a common choice for straightforward replacements.
