I need a new hot water heater.
I feel that 'on-demand' (also called 'tankless') is the right way to go - but have heard that they may have more maintenance problems than standard units.
Whenever I speak to a plumber about this, they shy away - but I haven't been given a good reason and feel like it is just that they are more comfortable with what they know.
Looking for:
1) homeowners with tankless systems- are you happy? Have you had to fix or maintain more than expected?
2) recommendations for plumbers that have significant experience with tankless hot water installs/conversions.
Thanks in advance!
