This is our first experience with a tankless system and we are not big fans. It takes forever to get hot water to our sinks! And yes we can find things to do while it’s warming up but the loss of gallons of water down the drain is problematic. Plus sometimes you just want to quickly wash your hands and be in your way. My husband was just out walking in our neighborhood and ran into an employee of the gas company getting a new house hooked up. He mentioned to him the issues we are having and it is his opinion that the tankless heaters The Villages are installing aren’t good quality. He said if it were him, he would upgrade to a more efficient one since the cost of a new one would be made up in 5 yrs. We may consider it.
