tankless waterheaters ?
figure a upgrade to 200 amps just for water heating, plus the service
for everything else. will cost big bucks probably several thousand. now crack a valve for say washing your hands might get cold water, because the minimum flow wouldnt be met. now if you live in a area that freezes, nice hot water may be cool when the incoming water is cold. figure you will save money? the energy saved by no standby losses only matters in summer in cold weather it just helps heat your home. the tankless cost is so high any savings will take longer than the tanks about 10 years expected life. if you want more hot water just buy a regular tank of bigger capacity. we should make a FAQ on this as it comes up all the time......... |

electric tankless won't work out for you especially when the fresh
water supply gets cold in winter. hopefully you've got gas? read about rinnai gas water heater at al's. [i bought a rinnai gas direct vented heater --for air-- from al and have never had a problem with it.] we love the brand and we love knowledgable al. http://www.alsheating.com/Continuum.htm wrote: I'm in the market for an electric tankless waterheater,household type,two people,one bath replacing my 48 year old electric water heater.
