tankless water heaters

[rwn]

I am thinking of buying a a tankless water heater. They are relatively new around here. Are they the answer? What brands should I look at? What size would I need? I have a older home with three full baths. We tend to do alot of things at once such as showering, dishwaser, and clothes washing.

Whether they are the answer, dependson the question. They are smaller than a regular tank, they require the same size room for combustion purposes, they require larger electric wires or gas lines and a larger flue. The amount and temperature of the water will depend on the quantity going through the heater. If the heater has a flow control to limit the amount of water going through it in order to keep the temperature high, then multiple users may find a lessened flow to compensate.: I am thinking of buying a a tankless water heater.
