That brings up a missed point.
Tankless are triggered by the flow switch to startup at .5 gpm, a drip won't do it.

Bob NH said:If you are replacing tank-type heaters in the attic, what is wrong with putting the tankless heater in the attic? The gas and water lines are already available and it is a short run through the roof for the stack.
I would use copper piping instead of PEX because the drain pans won't do anything for leaks away from the heater.
If it were mine I would check my insurance policy and leave the tank-type heaters alone.

Also, I didn't factor in the fed tax credit of $300 (which means $75-$100 in real money for most tax brackets)
Nate R said:No, that would be $75-100 in real money if it was a tax DEDUCTION. A tax CREDIT is far more valuable. It's money in your pocket dollar for dollar. A tax deduction lowers your taxable income. (Thus a $1000 deduction off of your income amount saves you about $250 in taxes.) A credit is subtracted directly from your tax OWED, not the # the tax is calculated from. Doesn't mean it will make the difference in savings in this case enough to be worth it, but I had an urge to point out the difference.
