..tankless water heaters..

[X]

Anyone use one of these? Thinking of getting rid of the traditional big ole water tanks and go tankless.
Someone reccommended the Rinnai brand.

Any one here got some exposure to dis? suggestions, pro/cons?

Thanks.

I use tankless Bosh. i have one install in each bathroom and one in my kitchen. Not thaty one would not be sufficient, but the water ssving is important to me. They are very efficient and i get instant hot water,due to the proximity of the units. Mine are in the wall types. I also have attached to th eones in the bathrooms towell/robe heaters, very nifty.

I never thought of the individual units one, was thinking of a central one to replace the tank.
Now you sow a seed

But then that would mean a couple installations instad of one huh ..

and with this new ontario law that you need a license electrician to do anyting electrical (short of plugging in a kettle), maybe better to stick with a central unit.

Boch huh
I'll go investigate

Thanks Doc!

Re: ..tankless water heaters..

I have had a propane one for 3 yrs now and it's easily paid for itself. The gas guy that hooked it up now recommends Rinnai. My older type is installed on the outside of the house and I wired it myself by cutting a 12 ga. extension cord, drilling a hole thru the wall, and hooking it up to the color coded terminals, then plugging in to a wall socket inside...near where it was mounted. The units are also supposed to last at least 20 yrs.
