Yeah unfortunately the house has no gas. Nice thing about electric tho is no need to vent. The electric units are actually much cheaper than gas too. Price for a decent size that can heat 5-7gpm is comparable to buying a new tank.
Only problem with electric is available current.

I'll probably be upgrading the panel next spring when I build the shop anyways so I think I may just limp the tank along until then.
I don't think I wanna risk going with a smaller unit.

Reason I wanted to go with tankless is that we'll be doing renos in a couple years and opening up the floor plan. It would be real nice to have the tank gone and have the on demand tucked in the crawl space. Just for space and appearance I mean. Plus it might save a bit on electricity too.
