So I am now deciding on replacing my conventional 6 gallon hot water heater with the same device or going with a tank-less hot water heater. Pros that I have read for the tank-less include instant, unlimited hot water and less weight for the device itself. Cons include more expensive price, the faster the flow, the cooler the water and excessive start up spike in current. Has anyone here replaced their hot water heater and which route did you go? Thanks in advance.
