Understanding water heaters
Tankless water heaters use strong heating parts or gas to warm the water when you turn on the hot water tap. There is a sensor that sees when you need water and it turns on the heater. When you turn off the tap the heater stops. This way you do not need to keep a tank of water all the time and you can have hot water all the time if the system is the right size.
Choosing the system
To choose the right tankless water heater you need to think about how many people live in your house, how much water you use, what kind of fuel you want to use and how many things you will use hot water for at the same time. A small house will need a different size heater than a house. Gas and electric heaters are also different to install. You should get a professional to help you pick the one for your house.

Plumbing connections
