I'm mulling over switching over to tankless in the new crib.
My hestitation is just the ducts involved which is a major b*t#h.
Tankless is more money, and I get the capacity of hot water I want.
Not sure if it's improved over the years, but I had tankless in another place and it saved my a whole $5 per month.
There was surges of colder water - when someone use hot from another faucet.
Current boiler room will require me chopping the wall/redoing the pipe to flue if I want something larger than a 50 gal.
Got a nice big gas feed coming into the room, so gas volume should be okay.
The only drawback is just the mess and work involved in properly running the ducts if I go tankless.
