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.

Tankless vs replacing old tank

4 years ago

I have a 6 year old Rheem electric hot water tank that needs a drain line or sensor switch. However I’m considering replacing it with a tankless heater. I need more space in my laundry room where the tank is located. I saw old Houzz discussions about tankless and I wonder if there is more recent info to consider. Grateful for advice, pros and cons. Thanks!
