One of these years we'll all catch up over here like that.
My parents had one installed in their previous house and loved it.
Even in the winter time it was constant hot water, as much as you could pump out of the ground.
Pretty efficient, since they had a nice Bosch unit that burned LNG which is cheap where they're at.
But their newer place has the old style tank heater, and hard water.
One of the first projects I'll be doing in our next house will be converting it to a tankless water heater after upgrading the electrical system to accommodate my needs for a grow room.
Going to have the power company (and qualified electrician) upgrade the service to around 200 amps and install new wiring & circuits to handle those times when the A/C units are running in the summer, and fans and lights, and the wife uses her hair dryer or flat iron with the TV on & house lights.
Fingers are still crossed for this year.
*I'll be running the romex & conduit and outlet assemblies, but not hooking it up after the service is upgraded. Just need the electrician to inspect it and install a new fuse box and do the final hook up. Have done more than a few houses, new and retro-fitting. Fun stuff actually. Almost went into that trade out of highschool.
**Also, my dad was a lineman and powerplant mechanic in the airforce, and taught me electrical theory from a young age, and I was his apprentice whenever he'd need one.
***And, yes, I'm dumb enough to have shocked the $#!T out of myself a number of times as a little kid doing experiments with electricity. Really. I should be dead several times just from those shenanigans!
