Tom, I value your opinion very much. I am considering to have tankless water heater. To save space in utility room. My current water heater is only two years old but it took lots of space in my small utility room. Is there a drawback using tankless water heater vs the slandered water heater? Do you have a recommendation on brand? Would you recommend installer?
I thank you very much.

Tom:: First off, let’s go with the space issue, and how big these new appliances are. Even refrigerators are getting bigger, and people don’t realize the refrigerator is bigger, but the inside is the same, and the reason is to meet energy standards, they have to put a lot more insulation on those.
Charlie:: A lot more.
Tom:: And so it gets bigger around. That being said, if you need the space …
Charlie:: Don’t we all. That’s the truth, too.
Tom:: To save space is great, on demand water heaters are great. If it’s installed right, water hammer will not be an issue. I don’t know what else to tell you. It’s a great way to save space, and you’ll have all the hot water you want.
