yea, tankless is still a bit in the early stages… We considered one, with the rebates & incentives it’d be about the same as a tank. But the exhaust piping is ridic, its like $100/ft or somthing.

Bradford White 40 gallon Hwt 289.00 1 yr parts/labor 6 year warranty on leakage. In stock at Jordan Supply on Military Rd.

That is what I just bought. Actually bought it in December and have been way to lazy to put it in. Plan on doing it soon though.

just chiming in on the tankless water heaters…

My grandma just put one in at her house (2 full baths/dishwasher) and have never had a problem with it. And as for it not getting hot- it’s constantly set to 130\*F and it will burn the sh|t out of you, and the same holds true when you do laundry, dishes, at the same time.

But, she did spend 2700$ for the unit installed.A little bit of a difference but as already said between the tax credits, and her gas bill being cut in half, even in the winter, it’s almost already paid for itself after about 8 months.

The initial investment is huge though.

And will you be installing it yourself (i’m looking for someone to install a gas fireplace)

yes tankless is good if you spend the money.if you go with the $800 ones they dont work but if you get the $2000 ones they work… i should be putting one in in the next 5 years or so but right now i have nothing and need something… once the $$ is there i will be doing it

yes i will put it in my self… i have also put in a ventless gas fireplace and its reall easy… running the lines were a lot easer then i thought it would be…I will not do that type of work to anyones house do to the fact i dont have INS. for it… and i dont want that on my back… same goes for working on cars i know you did not ask but same deal

BTW - the 12yr units are “self cleaning” fwiw.
