Probably a good idea to start researching / planning for the switch. If you wait for the existing tank to go down you might face a decision about replacing immediately with another tank or taking some time with no hot water to get the tankless (not to mention the possibility of a leaky tank in the basement). Swapping out for a new tank in one day is easy but I think the tankless takes a bit longer to get sorted, installed and functional.
