I have a gas tankless hot water heater. the pilot frequently shut off. The gas valve control is controlled by water flow. When there is hot water runs, the water creates a pressure discrepancy at two sides of valve so the gas is on. I do not like this kind design because it is not reliable. about every three years the value needs replaced. It has been replaced twice by me and a plumber. I would like to replace it with a new tankless gas hot water heater with electrical gas lighting. Any suggestion.

I am looking to replace my existing hot water heater and I don't want to go tankless.

I can't use Tankless gas so I really want to compare between these two.

We have just recently moved and our gas company says it will take a month to hook up a new service line. Can I convert to propane and where do I get the parts at?
Also, what parts do I need to get?

i live in WA state, and have a natural gas connection.

pilot light went out re lit it now it stays on for about three days then goes out ..relite again and three days goes out again this is about the fifth time .what could be the problem ? some one said the ignitor?

looking to purchase new water heater pros and cons on tankless and what is the best one? what is the best tank heater. Natural Gas.

we are looking at converting our water heater. we were told we need to get a new water heater to go from propane to natural gas. is that true? someone else said we could just change some valves or something. anyone know

I want to replace our existing water heater with Excel vent free gas tank less water heater.
please visit link: http://www.amazon.com/Excel-Ventfree-tankless-heater-10001P1/dp/B002ATWR8W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1263750806&sr=8-2

anyone know approximately how much the installation cost and if vent less is a good option to go with? Thank you

I want to buy a tankless hot water heater to service the entire house (let's say 4 GPM range or up). I'm looking for a recommendation where/what to buy. I prefer electric but could do natural gas/electric. I would also like someone else to install it and remove the old water heater.

If you have links to any other material that might help I would appreciate that as well.

Thanks

I have 2 propane hot water heaters that were involved in the recent flooding in RI. After the river left the basement, I was able to light both again, and one works fine. The other pilot lights fine and it fires up the burner fine and brings the water up to temperature, but later isn't working. I am not positive yet if the pilot light is going out or if the pilot is working and it just doesn't re-fire. (Getting this info from a tenant!!) I believe the pilot light is going out though. Any thoughts on how to sort this out?

I would like to know the best places to look for a tank less water heater that uses liquid propane gas.

In CA. I have 3 showers, 5 sinks, and 3 toilets. I would like to hear from someone with experience to tell me what the difference is in their PG&E bill is.
I can do all the plumbing and gas piping myself

I need a new gas hot water heater & trying to decide on whether to get a tankless or solar hot water heater. Can't anyone give me some advice on which is better or a site that could compare the two?
I do understand that solar runs on the sun & requires no electricity but, seriously, is one better than the other? Pro's & cons is what I'm looking for. I had a conventional 50 gal. gas water heater prior to it flooding my garage out.
Currently there are 2 in the household but desire a system capable for 4-6 people.
I am in Az. so the sun shines pretty much all the time during the day.

I just moved into the house about 3 months ago and for my first month living here I bought a tankless water heater and replaced my regular gas heater because the tankless takes up less space. I have it mounted on the outside. I paid a plumber to install it. It is a rheem water heater. For the past 3 months my bills have ranged from 300-400 in just gas alone. I had the gas company come out and I dont have a leak and the meter isnt running constantly. It only runs when I use the gas in the house. I dont have a kitchen yet installed so I don't use a stove. I havent turned on my ac/heat for the past 2 months so the only hting that could be using the gas is when I take a shower which is a 5 min shower daily. It's just me in the house. So why is my bill so high?? I am so concerned b/c I paid for the water heater got it installed and now it is costing me a lot of money. I checked to see what the previous owner used to pay in gas bills and it was way less than what I am paying and she used the regular hot water tank (not tankless). I threw out the old tank which uses a lot less BTU's than the tankless. I think the tankless uses 180k BTU's and I had a 40 gallon tank. I don't know what to do. And my plumber also checked for gas leaks and I don't have any.

Propane water heater

We currently have a coil that heats our water...and we take short showers and the kids get half a bath. We were considering adding a tankless hot water heater such as "instant hot" to our gas or a water tank like "super stor ultra" to our oil burner. I'm wondering if a product like instant hot will really give an endless hot shower and fill the tub too. I'd appreciate feedback/experience with this.

I have a limited closet space for installation of this unit.
Are there other brands with a similar design?

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Have to turn it on and off several times to get hot water. Home depot says mother board. But they don't know how to test it. Unit is Richmond.

To buy the electric will cost more but in the end what through out the year is better on the pocket book? Propane is just going up and up as we are aware.

I have heard that tankless water heaters are more effecient, therefore cheaper on utility costs. How much would I save in a year on my gas bill? 50%? 30% 75%? Would it be worth switching? My water heater is only about two years old.

I bought a tankless hot water heater less than 3 years ago and it has stopped working. I sent it back to the company who claims that they fixed it. It worked for less than two weeks, then stopped working again. After going round and round with the company, they said it must be something in my house that is causing it to stop working. It is a gas tankless hot water heater with an electric ignition. Does anyone know what in my house could cause it to stop working? Of course she wouldn't answer that question for me. Also, what is the average lifespan of a tankless hot water heater. I have heard twice as long as a traditional tank water heater.

Is it better to use a smaller, separate propane water heater for the in floor heating?

My standard water heater is about to die. Rust everywhere. Is it wise to re-think this and use a gas water heater of the alternative kinds? We are a 2 bathroom house of 2000 sq ft, with dishwasher. I wash clothes in cold water.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the tankless and the expansion water heaters? I am trying hard to be "green" and consevationist. Thanks one and all

How can I tell if I have enough natural gas available to run a tankless hot water heater. I already have two furnaces and a gas dryer. What would happen if my demand exceeds my supply?

it has an electric pilot?

at present the heater is disconnected as I had a water leak in the main line and would like to clean it before I have it hooked back up. It is a Rheem, manufactured in 1982 and is a 30 gal. Thank you for any help you can give me. Joanne

And where can you buy it? Why is it the best and how do you know it is the best.

The heater in our hot tub is not working. We would like to put in a natural gas dedicated hot water heater and wonder if a "tankless" model would work by just recycling the water? It would be a lot cheaper than buying a new hot tub heater. Plumbing not a problem...just don't know if this would work. Thanks in advance.
