Good day. Winter is coming and it's really annoying. I'm planning to buy a tankless water heater. I checked all of the water heater on Amazon and in this site http://www.elreviews.com/tankless-water-heater-reviews/ . There so many choices in there and I'm confused. Please help me with my problem, give me some suggestion and advice on what would be the best water heater that I should buy. Thank you!

You need one that fits your requirements....But we can't help with out knowing them....What is your family size? Is it just for Hot Water? Is it for radiant heat? Number of bathrooms? Number showers at one time?

So you are looking to go from having a tank heater to a tankless heater? If that is the case I would stick with the tank. I don't like the delay to get hot water and I live in the north so the lost heat from being inefficient just helps heat the house anyway. Are you looking for overall cost savings over the life of the unit? Easy install? High efficient?

Just get a small one shower electric tankless heater from Stiebel or other quality manufacturer. Electric is easy install and tankless makes great sense for just one person.
