I live in upstate NY. We have to fill our 500 gallon propane every month and a half in the winter. That's pretty expensive. We're making the change to electric everything (boiler, hot water heater, stove) as we will make our money back in less than 2 years. Where we live and with what we use for gas the electric makes way more sense to me.
Same. Hudson Valley area. We've converted to electric everything. Heat pumps, water heater, stove, etc. We're planning on installing solar panels, and hopefully that will make us more energy efficient and independent.
i have a 24KW electric unit. its spec say 4.68 GPM Flow rate, but my ground water is much warmer then we thought. So we have seen much higher flow rates and still keeping the temp up. its just used more power
I've never seen a gas tankless that costs nearly that much. Mine have cost $1200 for two and $980 for my newest. No way it costs $3k+ to install. Flow rates also vary, since the rating is based on a 40° temp rise. 50° water to 130° lowers the gpm
Society has a large population of people with disposable income today, they are more educated in certain areas and way less in others but they don’t realize this. Since no one wants to work today used car salesman have moved into the plumbing market and educated idiots will pay their prices. There’s 3 rules in plumbing and it doesn’t take a genius to know them.
I prefer electric. It's safer, cleaner for the environment, and requires less. Although it is for a 2 story house, there is only 2 - 3 of us, and we aren't excessive with the hot water.
Plumbers will always tell you gas tankless water heaters because they make a big profit in gas installation. Electric ⚡️ is the much cheaper and safer.
Of course plumbers prefer the gas tankless heater because they make more money with installation and maintenance. 😂

For outdoor installation, what is the sound each unit produces?
Has anyone done the utility cost analysis of Tankless GAS vs ELECTRIC?
Your estimated cost is way off

Quite informative.
Are they good for boats

they both have to be plugged in
Can you install electric tankless water heater outdoors?
Keep in mind, most large volume electric tankless needs 2x100a breakers. If you have 100a entrance, you can't use one
if you cant say what the maintenance is, then why are you making a video.
