I've had a Polaris system, since 1994. Natural gas, almost never run out of hot water, heats the 1st floor. Love it. Couldn't tell you what it cost or costs now.
Depends on your needs and if going electric or gas . Pros and cons .
Myself I haven't put one in. I never runout and there is 4 adults and 1 baby in my home . I've installed a few of them for friends and family and a couple commercial grade ones . Hard water can play hell on them . People I know who has the gas model like them electric not so much.
If it was just me and the wife I might get one. We are using hot water continuously so it's at no advantage for me to spend the extra money.
We bought this house 4 years ago. It has a Navien or Navion tankless and my wife washes clothes and stuff all the time. We never run out of hot water. I went to get a part and told the counter people the brand and they said it was a good one. It’s been good for us. I also have a water softener and an inline filter,. There’s a part that has to be check regularly in the heater so I’d recommend getting the inline filter to remove things that caused problems with it. It’s natural gas.
I was just googling about one last week for camping. Look pretty cool and is smaller than the one in my house.
This might look familiar to some.
A buddy of mine put one of those in his old camper he loves it . They make a portable diesel hot water unit that's also a heater . Technology in this is unbelievable.
Most new campers are all thankless. I sorta like my little 15g tank on my camper and it only takes 15 minutes to heat and as l9ng as I keep it fired with propane I don't run out of hot water.
I have a small off road camper I use for fly fishing and hunting so I can stay off grid in places my larger one can't get too. So I ordered one of these after researching it online the past few weeks.
