I considered the tankless but after talking to a few previous owners and doing some research I just went back to the same style big ass heater I was removing. Every person I talked to including a local plumber told me they go cold faster than a big tank type. Gas over electric when you can.
Once you go tankless you won't go back. I haven't had one last less than 12 years. The first one I installed in my old house is still working and I think that thing has been in there for like 20 years. The one in the new house had the circuit board go out after about 12 years and just got a new one with local support. The guys that installed it come out once a year and fluch the system to remove any scale in it so I figure it is just routine maintenance. I love never running out of hot water as the wife and kids take full hot water showers.
Well it’s happened. My water heater, which of course was installed in my attic, started to leak. I’m looking for options and opinions on tankless water heaters. If anyone has one, let me hear some pros and cons.
Thanks.
