    Default Tankless Water Heater...

    So, I know we have a few people that are HVAC guys, but my water heater is starting to struggle, and I want to get a few quotes on going tankless.

    Are there any guys on here that are heating/plumbing pro's that want to quote a tankless and install for me?

    Thanks in advance!

    What they said.

    Since this is a replacement, don't be surprised if the venting required for tankless over standard water heater doesn't make the project cost prohibitive. Brycom will take care of you.

    For the whole house, tankless does not make economic sense, even less so for a retrofit. Using for a large tub, yeah maybe. The high efficiency, tank commercial grade water heaters are a better overall solution that will cost less.

    Yeah, not really...

    They cost nearly as much as the high end tankless, and they still keep a big tank of water heated. Well insulated or not, it still keeps the water hot when you're not using it.

    We replaced our water heater last year and I thought about a tankless . . . but I went with a tank again. Had a few conversations with neighbors who got tankless and they said they were ok, but that they struggled if more than one thing was going on at one time. Like if one person was showering and you were doing dishes or another person was showering, the tankless had a hard time keeping up. Maybe they just undersized their units? Don't know. Maybe 10 or so years from now when this heater is on it's last years and the kids are out of the nest, we'll look at tankless.

    But interested to hear what others say about them.

    We have been very happy with our tankless unit. Two showers at a time is no problem. The pressure does reduce a little but hardly noticeable.
