A smart tankless water heater lets you check and change the hot water temperature from your phone, set comfort presets for each family member and see alerts when something needs attention. Some also work with voice assistants. These four Wi-Fi models, two gas and two electric, are the best smart picks we found.

We compared app features, flow, temperature control and installation needs using manufacturer specifications and owner feedback. For scored reviews see tankless water heater smart reviews, or see the best tankless water heater guide; our Editorial Policy explains our process. Most units need 2.4GHz Wi-Fi; gas models need licensed installation.
