Depends on where you live in the US and age of house. I'm no expert but watch a lot of This Old House. Boilers are popular in northeast or older homes that use radiators for heat. But that is separate from hot water heaters. While tankless heaters are gaining popularity, most people have standard insulated tanks that are heated by gas or electricity.

Thanks, that's interesting.

Do you have any idea what the gap in my interpretation of Tom's comments is, then? Why it seemed like he was suggesting that hot water tanks are a very old fashioned and not used in newer homes, and that they'd be surprising to Americans?

No idea. I'm not paying money to listen to a podcast.
