Default Re: Tankless Water Heater
One thing to keep in mind is that each of our showers, has a regulator in them to make sure that we don't burn ourselves by accident. My hot water heater is about 20 feet from the shower. It still takes several minutes for the water to get hot. Even if you put the tankless system right next to your bathroom, it will still take some time before the regulator lets the water get hot. I don't think you are gaining anything by putting a tankless system in, IMHO. Also, as mentioned previously, the payback time is long after most of us will be here. :'(
