[quote=Anonymous]We considered it but simply replaced ours with another conventional storage water heater for several reasons: - We would need a bigger natural gas pipe installed from the meter to the tankless unit - The tankless unit itself cost way over $1000 - Our water heater is not close to the kitchen or the main bathroom (it's between the two). Our plumber said that other customers have been annoyed by the time it takes to get the water hot at the tap (wasted time and water). Tankless units appear to be great if they are near the point of use and might make a lot more sense if the house is designed for it, including the larger gas pipe. In the end, we calculated that the savings would not pay for the bigger up front cost for several decades and we would probably be annoyed a lot. Instead, we bought a high efficiency gas water heater and insulated all of the hot water pipes.[/quote]
