I bought an old house 13 years ago and they didnt really maintain
anything, so my water heater could go any day.
I've been considering getting a tankless water heater.
My neighbor owns several properties & swears by them.
He has someone who he buys them from for $250 each, which is allot less
than most of the quotes Ive heard.
His home has one ; he as a family of 4,so they use allot more water
than I do.(kids, laundry, baths,etc)
I under stand they are suppose to be energy efficient.
I know they are more expensive to buy than regular water heaters but
it's possible that the energy savings might balance that out.
My biggest concern is I dont know allot of people who do have one, so I
do not know anyone to ask about the longevity of a tankless water heater
versus standard.
If you buy a standard water heater and take care of it and do the small
maintenace you should, they can last 20 years or more.
I like the uidea of the tankless water heater, off the floor, and
energy savings but if they only last a couple years, I would like to know.
does anyone have one in their home and for how long have you had one?
your experience with it?
pros? cons? problems you have had?
brand names would help also.
thanks in advance.
