Yeah, it's a little off the usual topic content but, My Hot water heater is starting to go. I would prefer to change it before it quits completely.

I've done some research on tankless water heaters but, I would like to here feedback on those of you that have them. I live in the phoenix area so, ground water rarely gets below 45-50 degrees and I have a 200amp service panel. I only have electric

Thanks !

The former (and old) apartment I used to live in - 3rd floor of a three story house - had a tankless water heater that ran off our oil burning furnace. Worked pretty well, never had any issues with water making it to the 3rd floor, didn't seem like it took long to heat up. I also had a water-saver shower head, not sure whether that makes a difference? (f-body content - think radiator hose restrictors/thermostats).

I liked it. I'd consider one if/when I convert from our electric tank heater to propane.

The only issue I had with it was running out of fuel oil in the middle of summer because you just don't' think about it when it's hot outside.

Ask me how I know. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

Did anyone see the episode of Mythbusters where they "blew up" a water tank?
