1. For some reason, water pressure from any of my sinks (kitchen / laundry room / washrooms) were intense to the point of not usable. Swapping to the Rinnai solved that problem.
2. Hot water previously was scorching hot, like burn your hands hot. It was hot or cold, no warm. Something wasn't right. Things are normal now.
3. Not a huge problem but the water for showering is a nice consistency. The hot water comes on quite quickly, on average, 10 seconds anywhere throughout my place.
4. Biggest difference was in the quality of heat coming from the furnace. It didn't come on as often anymore, lots of air pressure through the vents (high velocity system) and doesn't fire up as often as my previous air handler did.
5. Space - I saved a considerable amount of space in my utility room after removing the hot water tank and air handler, freeing up enough room to fit in a full three piece washroom and with more than enough room for a stackable laundry set.
Super happy so far with the tankless system. I'm glad I'm getting rid of this hot water tank rental to Reliance. New AC goes in tomorrow.

That's cool and everything, but can you take a hot shower in the dark when they power goes out? Cuz apparently that's super important
BTW, how big is your air handler? Do you have a pic?
