[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 155894, member: 21"] No licenses here, but I do know thing or two. With tankless electric you will need to consult the electricians too. Since you are heating from cold to hot on demand they use a massive amount of juice. A typical whole house tanklees electric can be 24 kw. That's 100 amps at 240. If you don't have a 200 amp service, forget about it. I'd expect a 200 amp service at any new construction. A 300 amp service would be better because then you can go more powerful. Tankless propane will likewise use a ton of gas while it's running, but none when it's not. [/QUOTE]
