I'm trying to decide between getting a tankless water heater or a traditional tank model for my home. I live in a three-story house with a basement, and I'm concerned about whether a tank heater can effectively deliver hot water to the washroom on the top floor in a reasonable time. If I go with a tank heater, what size or capacity should I consider?

The main advantage of a tankless system is space-saving. If you have room for a tank, it might be more efficient and still meet your needs. However, if you're looking to fill a large tub, keep in mind that tanks can run out of hot water quicker than a tankless. Some people think that having a tankless with a recirculation system provides quicker access to hot water on the upper levels than a traditional tank setup.
