Just wondering on others' thoughts.

Does anyone in the US have a tankless water system? How do you like
it? Was it extremely expensive to install?

I've lived with them in the UK and love them, but they're not so
common in the US yet. We had decided we'd install one during
renovation, but the current water heater is the *one* thing in the
entire house that's reasonably new and in very good condition. Seems
a shame to replace it while it's working so well. However, we are
still re-doing all the plumbing, so it would make sense, one would
think to install the new system now.

Would costs be prohibitive to wait to install? As we're redoing the
entire house on limited funds, we have to pick and choose where we
spend the extra cash now.

I suggest keeping what you have for now. By the time it needs
replacement, you will have experience with both systems and then you will be
in the best position to decide which is best for you. There should not be
any real advantage of changing it out now vs later. The other way around
would be more likely to have a problem.
