I can use a 220v. line that's there, as we are abandoning the electric stove

Anyway, I'd like to hear from people who have these, how they like them,
what brand is good, what brand isn't, caveats, etc.

Unless you get a really small one, I think you'll need more
electricity than that. �Might be better to find a propone one.

The only person I know who has one loves it.


as a tankless owner recently told me theres a delay from water on to
water coming out hot. the unit must detect water motion, then turn on
heater or burner and that takes time to heat up, then you get hot
water.........

so you may not gain much

your better off running a recurcliating line back to the hot water
tank and insulating the lines
