Tank or tankless: what actually changes your bill

9/16/2026

A tankless heater costs more to install and less to run. Whether that pays back depends on how much hot water the house uses and whether the gas line can feed the burner. For a household of two, the standby savings rarely cover the install premium inside ten years. For a household of five with back-to-back showers, they usually do.

Northgate quotes both on every replacement so the decision is made on numbers, not on a brochure.
