Don't be too sad about the water heater. I won't say "never again", but the design and performance will have to change a lot before I'll try another tankless. The savings was utterly illusory. After four miserable years of insufficient, unreliable, costly, occasional hot water, we finally had the chimney lined and a tank-type gas water heater put in. Cost, quantity, and reliability of hot water in the house immediately improved nearly infinitely.
