Just a note, I spoke to a friend in Texas, all outside tankless heaters which the owner did not drain were ruined when they froze. You must drain them when there is a really hard freeze. Frankly, I would not have one.
We lived in La. and for the hurricanes and electrical outages we went thru, the gas tank type hot water heater always provided hot water and a 50 gallon reserve of water in an emergency. Tankless hot water heaters need electricity to operate the igniter in order to work. No electricity, the tankless gas HWH does not work. Most tank type gas HWH do not need electricity to work.
