Don't know if this topic has been discussed recently. I was at Lowe's recently and the salesman mentioned a possible way around the rising gas bills, particularly for empty nesters who don't use continous hot water might be to get rid of the tank water heater and go with a tankless system.
He mentioned a base cost around $430 + installation.
Anyone have any experience with this conversion in their homes? How much do they cost, system and labor. Do they tear up your house to put them in. Do they give you hot water on demand , as the salesman said ? Do they save on the gas bill significantly? What are the down sides? Is any model better than the other? Would you have Lowe's install yours?
