    Water heater big bang

    I know of 2 guys that repair water heaters one uses all used parts and rebuilds old water heaters if tanks are bad he strips the parts. Id take a chance if I was moving rather than pay close to 2 grand to have one installed . but otherwise Id go with Master Marks Idea

    Can I install a tankless condencing water heater in the same 24" by 24" closet the old traditional water heater was in?
