Tankless water heater.

There was a thread on this a week or so ago

I have a rinnai one came with the house. Very nice. I flush it once a year if I remember. North Texas water is not that bad.

I can adjust the temps pretty easy but have only done it once

Not sure of the Kw but I’m looking at replacing a 40 to 50 gallon tank that services a 2 bath home. What would you recommend? Main reason I’m wanting to swap it out is for the sake of room.

That's a tough question as sizing depends on peak usage, water temperature delta required, and where the unit is located relative to where the peak hot water demand is (usually the master bathroom). Replacing a 50 gallon tank, probably about 6 - 8 GPM capacity so a equally capable electric tankless would be 24 - 28 kW range.

I wouldn't risk it, a decent brand name one isn't that much and you'll probably want one with decent freeze protection and a fast response. Even a smaller, outdoor rated NG tankless unit will be much larger than a small electric tankless for point-of-use usage, which is what your situation really calls for unless the electrical service in your outdoor kitchen can't be massaged.

I'm not Juan, but I used to have a Rinnai brand. Only problem that I ever had was the inline filter got clogged not long after installing in a newly built house. Cleaned it out and was fine after that.
