WRONG!

Both the gas or electric tankless consume many times the fuel gas or
electric used by a tank type while they are operating.

figure a upgrade to 200 amps just for a electric tankless, plus a
second main for regular home power uses...

He said he just built the house so it's highly unlikely to have less
than a 200A electric service to begin with. Not many homes would need
dual 200A service (split 400A) just to handle the house and a tankless
water heater.
