Iooked into it. I decided that the more efficiently insulated traditional would provide increased benefits and is supposed to last 15 years. The tankless cost was as hard to justify as a Prius. I’ve been very pleased with the new water heater. They’ve come a long way. Not sure I’ll be in this home more than 15 years...

I have an electrically heated tank, 105 gallons, rented thru AEP/Ohio Power. Love it. Heats at night plus all weekend. Special electric rate. MT nest now but when there were five living here, we never ran out of hot water.
Installation is free. Repairs, only needed one time, are free. Replacement water heater, needed once, free. And removal of old heater is free.
This plan works perfectly for us.
