I have been thinking about the PROS and Cons for a tankless Water heater. Now after reading more here I am thinking maybe I should be looking at a standard water heater. electricity is still reasonable but I am not sure for how long and it will be going up soon. I have to have propane for my backup generator and stove and it costs more than electricity right now. I have read other comments about the rate of return on the investment and my size (new construction) will include 4 bathrooms steam shower plus the usual laundry, kitchen. I am on a well so it looks like I would have to go from about 60degrees to heat from. I am looking at 2 units to support each side of the house (2 floors). That is a lot of money. I could but energy saver water heaters electric (2) for a lot less. Besides not using energy to heat all the time wih a propane tankless

I can see my daughter living in the endless hot water shower as the off set. I am paying about 17cents now for electric. Lisa
