Tankless vs TAnk Water Heater

Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws

I want to replace my tank water heater with a tankless one. I live alone. Is it really more energy efficient?

It depends which model of tank water heater you currently have, how it is insulated and controlled. You'll need to provide more details. Also, how big is your house and much hot water do you use from the tank?
