Yes. That’s one of the disadvantages of a tankless water heater. At least with a tank water heater you have some reserve hot water to get you through a power outaage.
That said, though, I still think a tankless water heater is much better than a tank heater. You literally never run out of hot water.
If it has an electric pilot then yet it will stop working, however if this is a concern for you then you might explore putting a UPS (Uninterupted Power Supply) on it. UPSs are usually used for computers and the such but we have put one on a few items around our house that are low power (florecent lights, cordless phones) so that we can keep some services going.
Yes it does. But you can power it through a UPS (uninterruptable power supply). The draw is typically very minimal.
You can still by pass the electrical ignition and light it off by hand. This has to be done each time the hot water is needed. If the power is going to be off for a while once it’s lit every one can shower, maybe not at the same time, but it would be interesting
There are three types of ignition systems. I installed a standing pilot light so I always have hot water (cheapest and it cost about $15/yr to stand by. You can also get a pizio electric ignitor that is powered by the water passing through the system. An electronic ignition system is most comon but does not work durning a power outage.
If you loose power and are on a well your electic pump will not have pressure so you will not have any water any way.
That is one of the drawbacks with tankless water heaters, whereas with the traditional water heater you do have some in reserve. I still think that there is a significant savings with them, in fact you can save over 50% on your water heating costs.
Tankless systems add to how long you wait for hot water. A on-demand recirc system can help. A tank water heater w/o a dedicated return line and a Redytemp connected to a uninterruptable power supply intermitently circulating water at low temp setpoint saves pipes from freezing during power outages where heat tape is unreliable and uses way more energy. First one we saw was in a winter cabin which allowed more timeshare reservations and revenue.
