Tankless water heater

[Snooker]

I agree on the gas.

Have a thread in the classifieds about looking for a plumber.

Now after looking at 50 gallon heaters and their prices,, I'm thinking about going tankless (gas) instead.

Opinions?

If you have gas, 100% go tankless. Talk to a few plumbers and get quotes but more importantly talk to them about their recommendations for setup. Multiple heaters, recirculating, etc.

My first house had a tankless and it was poorly done. Water took forever to heat up in the master bath. Kitchen was great and fast.

My 2nd house had heaters on both sides of the house. 1 on the kitchen side and 1 on the master bath side. It was glorious. Unlimited hot water and fast to warm up.


edit: lol it looks like i am way late to this thread. oh well.

Do you have to flush it if you have a water softener?

you should flush it once a year regardless. it's not difficult at all. in my prior neighborhood, one of the neighbors built a pump and lent it out to the rest of us.

Ok yall don't bang me up too bad. After looking at everything including time, cost and availability on tankless I decided to just go to a 50 gallon 9year Rheem.

659 plus the supply lines then I got a 10% discount because I complained about a dent lol.

I went ahead and installed it myself. Ez since it was in the garage.

Don't blame ya. On a retrofit, I don't know that it'd be worth it. Still like the simplicity of the tank heater and it's an easy diy. Flush er out once a year and put a timer on it so she don't run when you don't need it and it's prolly a wash..
