Hot Water System feature variables	Tankless hot water system features	Storage tank hot water system features
Energy cost	Lower cost ... reduced energy losses	Higher losses ... higher energy usage
Unit size	Much smaller than hot water storage tank	Large compared to tankless hot water heater
Installation cost	Small compared to storage tank heater in new structures but higher in retrofit	More complex to install in new structures
Installation space	Compact unit .. saves space taken up by storage tank hot water heater which can be used as closet for example	Bulky heater and tank system with difficult access normally
Capacity	When large quantities are required simultaneously flow can reduce or temperature of water is reduced	Normally depending on size of tank capacity is higher for simultaneous use
