Had one for many years. Unlimited hot water worked great. Expensive to install $1000+
The only negative, it takes longer to get hot water when you first turn the HW faucet on.

Hot water thankless units which you requested
JR licensed Master Plumber. Florida and hot southern states climate it is the best to use of these units . You save a lot of fuel costs. Their are a lot of them that Home depot sells which designed for occupancy in the home, amount of bathrooms, amount of hot water gallons per minute used, recovery see a plumbing master trade specialist in your location they are licensed plumbers that are project managers in almost every home depot store. Even though I work as one for them in North East, the store stands behind every unit they sell joelfmi@aol.com

They don't have to be on the outside. Your's just happen to come that way from the previous owner.

TECO has a great deal going this month to install a tankless and remove your existing h/w heater. You just pay for the tankless heater. Our installation took less than 3 hours. Works great and estimated savings with this deal will pay for itself in about a year compared to a standard h/w heater. It has unlimited hot water.

Waste of $
Spend a few bucks and recirculate your hot water. Nearly instant hot water at all your faucets for the price of a small electric pump at the tank and a cross over valve at your furthest sink. If I install "instant" hot water I still have to recirculate for a cost of $2K. Crazy.

I'm confused by some of the comments about how long it takes to get hot water. If you install a tankless water heater in the same location as your tank type water heater, the water still has to travel the same distance to the shower or other fixture. The hot water delay time is caused by the water in the pipe being cold, not by the type of water heater. The way to reduce the time to get hot water is to install a recirculating system. A recirculating system can be installed with a tank or tankless type of heater.

Spoke with Mike Scott. The price is $875 for the recirculation system. If there is not an outlet within 6' of the tank, Mike Scott will arrange for the electrical to be done, then the total for both is $1050. The 2 minutes I now wait for hot water will be reduced to about 25 seconds. The system comes with a timer as well.

They can be installed on the inside and vented to the outside!

Not in the TV! Unless you are doing a retrofit. They would have to be vented somehow or another if installed inside.

We just recently had a tankless installed through the TECO program. It takes forever for the hot water to get to our master bathroom. Sink gets full of cold water while waiting for the hot water to get there. It is outside and therefore further away than our old inside tank. It wastes a lot of water.
Also our bill for the last month was the highest it's ever been so I can't tell there it is any savings. I understand that many peoples' gas bills were very high last month. Would I do it again? Probably not. |

Tankless hot water systems are great and I will never have another home without one. The real key to them is getting the recirculating system with it. If you have that installed then you have hot water instantly at every faucet, all the time.
Best purchase ever for those of us that love crazy long, steaming hot showers!

How long do you plan on living?
The offset in price to increase a gas line and the cost of the tankless unit may not be worth it in the long run! Go with a quality water heater and spend your money on yourself rather than a plumber |
