Actually, not that much electricity will be saved. The big power users in your house are the water heater, your electric central heat (even if it’s a heat pump), the electric clothes dryer, and the refrigerator. When they improve the efficiency of these things, then we’ll really save some juice.

As to the water heater, I am considering getting a tankless one,

That way there is no electricity wasted just reheating the water in the tank.

I disagree. We cut our electric bill almost in half by using fluorescent bulbs.
