On a side note, I have no idea what a tankless water heater costs, figure $200 or more for the connection, and if you are not handy the additional cost to flush (clean) the tankless water heater yearly. There was a company advertising on ToTV to replace a conventional water heater for under $900, and there was a 10% discount with the ad. I just did my own, water heater and some plumbing supplies was around $550, took 2 neighbors to help, and about 2 hours to complete the plumbing, so the $800 to $900 is not a bad price.

I had a Bosch tankless installed in 2001. Sold that house in 2017 with the tankless still working. Never had a single service call on it. Never did a yearly flush. Never even heard of a yearly flush!
Had a Rinnai tankless installed in 2010, different house. Never have done a flush. Never had a service call on it. Still renting that house out.
Those are/were both gas models.
Third house, full electric tankless installed in 2017. Never have done a flush.
