They are more expensive up front but we did see a decrease in our gas bill during the summer (when our only gas usage is water) of about 10%. Slow ROI but continuous hot water is worth it!
I totally agree with this. Rinnai is a good brand. Even better is a hybrid of tankless and a small tank. Not as efficient but you get unlimited water and you get faster hot water.
