Tankless Water Heater vs. Traditional Tank Waterheaters

Traditional Tank water heaters have come along way in energy saving efficiency, however the raw science of it is there is a tank that holds a body of water and when that body of water in the storage tank cools down after sitting all day. The thermostat on the tank reads the temperature dropping below a set temp. and activates the gas control valve to kick on the gas and basicly fires a blow torch to the bottom of the storage tank of water through the burner assembly, not to mention there is a constant flow of gas through the burner assembly to allow ignition. Tankless water heaters on the other hand operate in a simular fashion with out the tank and only kicks on the gas when water is flowing through the system, if the water is not being used the gas is not being used. with tank water-heaters say if you leave the house for the weekend the body of water in your storage tank is consuming gas on a regular basis to keep that body of water hot.
the tankless will not consume any gas until you return from home and turn on a Faucet.
