Gas tankless is the only way to go. I know nothing about the electric tankless but I can only imagine how much electricity it would use. We have 2 gas tankless waterheaters and they are great. When I am not using gas for heating the house but just for waterheater and cooking, my gas bill will be $26.00.

My gas bill is about that... with about twice that in “fees and taxes”.

Makes me ill.

We are appraisers and have looked at what builders and remodelers do. Whenever possible, the GAS tankless units are installed. The heat exchanger is much more efficient than the electric exchanger, and that’s where the heating takes place.

If you can’t get gas or propane to the unit, stick with the current high-efficiency upper end electric tank-style units. You will be much happier.

How often do you flush them? Some require service twice a year or they won't last very long.
