Yes, you can get a tankless unit that will be adequate for a house. They are not cheap, but over time they will save you energy/money since you are not keeping 40 gallons of water hot 24/7. Cost will vary considerably with locality. Call your local Lowes or Home Depot. They will likely sell and install.
The Bosch Aquastar tankless units at Lowes sell for about $700 - $1000.

First permit me permit you realize, the tankless water heater will value you greater suitable than a usual water tank heater. So...your saving is going to be over the years. For installation there is no longer lots difference. The tankless water heater is a small unit which you will installation on the wall. the main components interior are a Cooper radiator and the burner with thermo sensor. This unit is fairly efficient with the aid of fact the burner will warmth in basic terms while the water is on call for and then will close off while no longer in use. The installation varies slightly based of the form yet they're easily common. desire you the wonderful...!

They do make a single unit for your entire house, a dealer will show you what model you'll need. The units themselves are not terribly expensive, but the installation costs are why I ended up staying with a gas water heater. It would be a pretty tough install to do yourself, if that's even an option.

A tankless water heater is nothing more than a high wattage heating element stuck into a wide spot in the water line.
I would not recommend them. They are electric, which much less efficient than a gas water heater. If you want to save energy, wrap you water heater with some insulation and wherever you have exposed hot water lines in the attic or basement, wrap the with styrefoam insulation.
I don't you will be happy with a tankless water heater if you have any demand for hot water.
