And can a single unit replace my conventional water heater, or do I need a separate unit in the kitchen and each bathroom??? I have a two-bedroom two-bath condo, All three sinks and both showers are close to the present water heater.
I'm replacing a 50 gal. water heater that is 11 years old. Is that enough information to judge what size of on-demand water heater I would need?

The best way to set the thermostat on a 40 gallon water heater would be to leave it at 10 degrees Fahrenheit above body temperature until laundry day and then temporarily raise it for the laundry to "instant scalding" temperature (155 degree Fahrenheit). When laundry is done turn it back to 110 Fahrenheit.

I know prices will vary by region, model installed and associated labor costs- but I want to know how much YOU paid in total to convert to a tankless water heater.... Was it worth it? Did you get the full tax credit? Thank you!

I was thinking of replacing my regular tank water heater (electric) with a tankless on demand model (propane). I thought it would save money on my electric bill but on my electic company's home analyzer calculator, it states that if I replace it with another electric model (newer as our tank is really old) I will save -110 a year but if we replace it with a propane tankless model we would only save -4 a year. How can a propane tankless heater use more electric than an electric tank water heater? Anyone have any experience or knowledge of these water heaters?
Not sure how to figure out how much electric is because I am billed different amounts for different times of day or something. I have copied and pasted my bill below. Propane is .65 a gallon. My neighbor installs propane and was the one who is trying to talk us into it. Said he would do it for free. We just needed to pay for unit. He has one but his house is new and we have old well pump and hard water. We have a water softner but our water pressure isn't the best.

I built a new house 3 years ago. It has (2) 50 gallon (propane) water heaters. The propane bills were 0 a month for hot water only! No other uses of propane. I took one water heater off line, and lowered the water temperature coming from the water heater, the bills are still 0-0 a month...JUST FOR HOT WATER!!!!
I am considering converting over to the hot water on demand system. How can I compare the costs of the two systems. I know how many gallons of propane I use monthly, how many watts would that be?
