<br><br></font></div>I have clients who might be ideal candidates for a
tankless hw heater. They don't have natural gas in their home. I have
installed gas tankless, but don't have any experience with electric tankless
heaters. I will need to size one for a family of two to four.

<div>Any opinions out there? Bosch? Rinnai? Rheem?... </div>
