hi, I have a electric tankless water heater it's the smallest one they make. Got it at home depot it's just fine for me because I live alone now. But be sure that you have enough power to run it the one I have needs 80 amps for the two electric coils that are in it but I still save about $20 a month... ----- Original Message ----- From: rj To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 6:49 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Big Help For Hot Water
Yes, I had two of the tankless tanks over the years and both were the mid size model and everything from the unit was within thirty feet. Planning, once this new tanks gives out in our new house going back to the tankless.

I can say they are very energy efficient and the unit lasted for 8 years. The cost was about $1000, but I believe I got my money back in 5 years or less. ----- Original Message ----- From: tunecollector To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 6:58 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Big Help For Hot Water I vaguely remember someone telling me that these types of water heaters are more corrosive on water pipes. Then again, I may be thinking of those instant hot water models. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 2:12 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Big Help For Hot Water Hmm, I have been looking at tankless heaters for a while now, this article is good, but seems a bit over enthusiastic. For example, not all of these heaters are pilotless. The three reviewed appear to be, but there are cheaper models that use a standing pilot. I have even read about a unit that uses the flowing water to ignite the flame so it doesn't require a power hookup for that. I don't know what size hot water tanks they were comparing, but I don't think I would get back 20 square feet of basement if I went with one of these. My hot water tank takes up half of that with a bit of clearance around it. Never-the-less, I am definitely interested in these puppies. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
