IMHO this is a dead horse in the villages. i have had both electric and gas tank-less water heaters
1: this is all in north Georgia foot of LOOKOUT mtn,just south of Chattanooga,TN
1994 : cheap TVA rural electric rates electric tank-less approx $225.00to install never really hot water in the winter,ground temperature too low,hard to increase water temp difference.summer was fine.

2) 2005 had full house gas tank-less heater install , new house, 4BR 3B full basement 4400 ft 3 persons in house ,2 gas central h&Air full gas kitchen.
propane gas 2005 @$1.55 per gal,2012 March $2.65 to 2.99 still not bad some one has to pay,there's no free lunch. 2 people can shower and run dishwasher or clothes washer no problem ! never run out of HOT water all at same time.
We like it and would love to install a gas tank-less water-heater here,in the villages.Alas, NO GAS or very little of it south of 466 and none south of 466A.
I know and have the gas bills for 6 years to prove a gas tank-less has saved me money over an electric hot water heater vs my neighbors in NGA,but with out gas as a utility this is a mute subject. thanks this is my dime and i used it sorry if i hurt anyone's feelings.
