any one have one these tankless hot water heaters?

They heat the water on demmand and don't store it
in a large 40gallon type tank.

Do you like it?
how is energy usage compared to your old one?

would you reccomend it?

thanks.

Looked into it for a new house last year.  Found an article at:
http://www.stateind.com/new/new.htm
called, "What's the Big Deal About Tankless Water Heaters".  It's biased, of
course; but there is some good information.  Decided not to go that way
because any energy savings appear to be minimal, tankless heaters make more
noise than conventional types and tankless are more complex and therefore
more costly to repair.

We have a Paloma tankless hot water heater  coupled with a
Grunfoss(SP?) water pump.  It works great but we do live in Hawaii at
about the 2000 foot elevation.  It is in the low 50's in the morning
here.You can only run on hot water thing at a time as we have a PH6
size Paloma, but it works well for us.

I'm also looking at these.
My house is total electric, so that may change the picture.
