Please do explain... I'm curious as all hell to hear the bullshit explanation for this one!

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger.

Just repeating what I’ve seen over the years, even from prior discussions here. Tankless gas-fired good…electric powered tankless not as good.

I understand the electric ones don't do well.
If you have natural gas thats the way rot go.
I have both and chose to connect to gas.
Been doing great for four years

I'll stop, as soon as you quit posting complete bullshit on topics you simply don't understand.

There’s other people in this thread saying the same thing yet you choose to go after me? I know what this is all about, the whole sharkbite thread isn’t it?

Balony. 10 years here with no "block ups".

Gas tankless and I'll never go back.

Uhhh, the conversation is about Electric Tankless Water Heaters...

I just when through the analysis in FL.

I do not have gas on the property.

I went with the new hybrid water tank.

More efficient than both the tankless and my old water regular water heater.

The cost to run it is less than $5 a month.

A bonus is it does help cool the garage.

Again, further bullshit.

Your post is the second reply, the first reply with inaccurate information.
You simply post inaccurate information all the time. It has nothing to do with the sharkbite thread. It has to do with your constant inaccurate posts.

The heat pump water heaters are efficient because the don’t produce heat. Instead they transfer the heat in the air around them to the water. The last time I looked, one sized for our house would have been $1,500 vs $400 for a traditional water heater. The break even would have been over ten years. Now, with splitting time between two houses, there’d never be a break even because they would need replacing before the break even could happen.

Tankless electric maybe the way to go on new construction, but the added costs of running a new electric circuit and maybe replumbing in a different location make it a no go for me in either house.

Right now there is a 30% tax credit up to a max of $2000 for the total project.

You need to do the math for your situation.

For me, it was a no brainer with the tax credit.

and 50% less operating cost.

We had a client that was dead set on us incorporating tankless water heaterS in the house we were going to build. Due to the size of the house we would need to install 2 heaters…

When we did the analysis we determined that we would need to run 600 amp service (which is commercial grade in VA) and the cost to run them would be astronomical.

We ended up installing 2 Navian propane instant heaters and a 500 gallon underground tank. He was much happier with his utility bill!
