Are tankless water heaters reliable? Are they trouble-free? Do they heat as well as a tank-based system? This is for a rental unit with 2 bathrooms.
Are there any downsides to using a tankless water heater?
One downside to consider is that the upfront cost of installing a tankless water heater is higher than that of a tank-based system. However, over time, you can save money on your energy bills since tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient and don't keep a tank of water constantly heated. Additionally, if you have hard water, minerals can build up in the unit and cause damage, so you may need to flush the system periodically to prevent this.
