You should think twice about an electric tankless water heater. The custom builder of our previous home (not in The Villages) wound up pulling out the ones he installed because of complaints. I specified a Marathon tank electric water heater. They have a fiberglass tank and no sacrificial anode rods. They pretty much last forever but take up more space because of the foam insulation and cost more. The energy cost of maintaining the temperature of the water in the tank of a Marathon is not an issue.

Anyone have experience with tankless?
