re: Tankless hot water heaters?

I'm not going to comment on the subject anymore.

However I will advise that if you get one installed choose a brand that is leader in reliability (not sales) and has local certified technicians that can service it when it needs maintenance.

Rheem had mother board problems for years, but have since fixed it. Techs plentiful in the BR area.

Paloma has an incredible product, on par with Nolritz quality, but it's more commercial oriented.

Noritz is quality hardware with commercial and consumer focused heaters. BR has lots of certified techs in BR.

No comment on any other line other than to say that if you have to go tankless with an electric Ranaii is the brand of choice but there aren't any certified techs in the BR area yet that I know of.

These heaters require special training to work on so picking a non top brand name heater Will leave you with an expensive fee to pay to get a technician from out of town to service it.
