Has anyone got experience with tankless water heaters? Your thoughts please.
Thanks.
here we go again
The idea sounds wonderful BUT!
The unit will be pricey and so will installation, likely larger gas
line directly from meter, larger flue. If you go with a direct vent or
any tankless requiring line voltage a power loss means no hot water at
all. Electric tankless are a double looser, yu will need a main
service upgrade since a decent sized electric tankless takes 150 amps
or more Tankless are complex and require perodic service which can
cost a lot. Endless hot water is wonderful till a teenager decides to
live in shower increasing costs
During low flow like a faucet
cracked open to rinse dishes you may get no hot water or very hot
overheated water.
beyond all this current foam insulated standard tanks actually have
very low standby loses.
