Thinking about getting those ‘ON-DEMAND’ type heaters gas or electric................

Anybody have one that they can provide some insight on their experiences?

Are they really cheaper in the long run?

What is the payback period?

Do they get hot or just warm?................

My tankless water heater is awesome. The only real problem is that it will require flushing periodically if you have hard water and don’t run a water softener. Calcium builds up in the heater core and you need to flush about once a year.

Prices have come way down on these units (they are dirt cheap outside of the US) and the energy savings pays the difference.

We have PG&E here in the SF Bay area and gas bills are pretty high. My Tankless is in the attic which gets the nasty water heater out of the garage.
