Water Heater Help
Ridgefire:
Seeing as my wife is forcing me to take a break from my arcade and shower. My water heater is on its last leg. I'm looking at replacing it very soon. Question is to go tankless or not. Anyone here have a tankless Gas water heater? Pro's? Con's? Not sure if the added cost is worth it or not.
drventure:
My dad put two tankless heaters in the new house that they built.
He loves them. You mount em all the wall so they take up virtually no space, it's virtually instant hot water, and you never run out, like you can when you have every member of the family over for Christmas and everyone decides to shower at the same time :angry:
CCM:
I read an article a while back that said tankless water heaters really are not worth the added expense. It will literally take you years to recoup the cost.
Howard_Casto:
Tankless are better, they are easier to install, don't burn out as quickly and require less maintenance.
They are considerably more expensive though. If you have the money go for it, otherwise just buy a tank.
Keep in mind though that since you would be installing a tankless where a regular wh was, you'll have to do some plumbling.
Ridgefire:
Plumbing is no problem. I'm very good at being a handyman. I bought a house built in 1930's. Gutted, rewired, new drywall, windows, roof. Was hoping the furnace and hot water heater would have lasted longer. :(
