Same for me last year when I replaced my tank - electric tankless would heave required another panel to run, so we went with a Rheem and it has been a great unit. Now in BC, you are required to run the cold line into the bottom of the tank, they say it is for better efficiency; so beware of that during an install, as you may need some extra flex hoses should you go that route.
