Hi Roy,
I'm with ITD as the tankless is the only way to go. The typical tank type has to keep the water hot to meet expected demand use. This requires alot of wasted energy while the water is waiting to be used.
A tankless heater heats the water as you use it. It doesn't matter if the demand is 5gal or 800gal as the heater shuts off, turns on when you turn the facuet/valve on/off.
This method of heating water prefroms well if you take multi-showers/baths then wash multi-loads of cloths without waiting for the water to reheat. You just don't run out of HW.
The heater as a flow control so if you have a dripping facuet the heater will not come on. I think the flow control is about .5gpm before the heating unit fires to heat the water.
Since heating water is the most costly with using electricity, then a tankless unit will save alot of money.
