My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

does high altitude have any effect on tankless water heaters?

building a house and trying to decide on whether or not to go with tankless or traditional hot water heater. We live in NM and have been told that high altitude effects the tankless water heaters in that it makes them work harder. Is this true, and has anyone experienced problems with them.
