Energy usage is a subject on everyone's mind currently with rising energy prices so there's never been a much better time to upgrade to a tankless heating system.
There are a few points to think about when making the change.

Moving your Heater
Moving a hot water heater means possibly adding water lines, electrical outlets, or gas lines (if they are not currently in the new planned area). This will add cost to the task of installing a brand-new heater or moving an existing one.
Usual signs it might be time to change or repair your Water heater
It's not a good experience to step into the shower and find there's no hot water. While this is a clear sign that something is wrong with your water heating unit, there are other, less noticeable indications to look for. It's simple to neglect your heating unit, but routine evaluations and preventative servicing may make certain that it continues to operate appropriately for a very long time. The following are common signs that your heater needs to be fixed or replaced:
Water Temperature - If you don't have any hot water, you have actually got a problem. You may also see that your water is either too warm or too chilly. A build-up of filth or a thermostat fault can create these concerns.
Rust - If your water is brown or rusty in color, there's a excellent possibility your heater is corroding. Leakages are inescapable as a result of rust, but the issue can be fixed by repair service or replacement.
If water is leaking from the top of your water heater, you probably have a loose pipe or a failed T&P valve.
Water That Smells Bad-- If the water coming out of your storage tank smells foul, you're certainly dealing with a lot of bacteria. This is a problem that requires prompt attention!
If only your hot water is rusty, there's a good chance the anode rod in your gas heating unit has actually gone bad.
The anode rod is dissolved with time by the corrosion, and when it ends up being too rusted to do its job, you need a gas heating system repair service.
Leaking Tank?
Puddles surrounding your water storage tank could be a indication of a broken unit.
General Leaks
Common sources of leakages include the pipe inlet/outlet, pressure relief valve, drain valve, or a crack in the bottom of the tank.
No Warm water?
An electrical or gas system may not heat up water because of a tripped breaker or damaged heating element.
