Default new water heater

Anyway I reckon it is time to get a new one, can anyone recommend a
good water heater, wall mounted, providing hot water on demand for 1
bath, 3 sinks and a washing machine.

Thanks,

do you mind the delay bettween opening valve and getting hot water?
tankless must be sized to use and incoming water temperature.

in areas that get cold in winter incoiming water temperature dives,
causing troubles.

you could get a regular tank unit for perhaps 400 bucks.

tankless will be at least several times that, and you must get one
that has local service, new tankless are high tech and require
knowledgable techs. just like high efficency furnaces new tankless are
more complex and more likely to break
