My 50 gal tank is working fine but we run out of hot water in winter when kids take shower first... always been thinking about upgrading but don't want to take on ongoing costs if they are high
Yeah, descale every few years depending on your water hardness.
Equipment for descale will.run like $100. You'll use it over and over. You'll have to buy 2 or 3 gallons of vinegar each time. Costco sells them for like $5 for 2 gallons. Get 4 gallons and you're set.
Try your local contractors. I had one that install for $350. Found him on Thumbtack.
2 arms and a leg.
That's for a direct replacement/ new install. Not if you're going from a tank to a tankless.
You will need to consider the gas line size(3/4) venting, running a condensate line. It's alot of stuff to convert.
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
Haha.

You will need to spend at least $400 on top of the unit in venting/termination, water valves, gas/ water lines.

Legionnaires will not be found in a closed system like that along with other bacteria/ microbes. If your statement was true, water coming from the cold line will be to dangerous to use. Don't feed false information.
Yes but that's all a one time installation cost.
Are there any maintenance costs associated with this?
It seems like I typically go through a gas hot water heater every ten years.
1. What is the water quality going in. Soft water will increase corrosion if the water heater, but hard water builds up scale.
To reduce corrosion make sure to replace the sacrificial anode every 5 years. To avoid calcium buildup tankless water heaters call for pumping vinegar through every 6mos to a year.
2. Volume of water .. the more you use the more often heat is applied and the more corrosion products are available.
3. Manufacturing quality. A small pit in plating will allow for massive and quick corrosion at a location resulting in premature failure.
4. For electric units - power quality. Cities on the golf of Mexico are 4 times more likely to have power surges than the majority of the US and 8 times more likely then areas like California (temperate climate with virtually no power interruptions due to weather or plant life) note my numbers predate California turning off power for wind which will increase surges.
As for install cost. Tankless requires far more gas so generally there is re-piping involved. I installed mine on the side of my house and piped water to it instead of pulling new gas. I would recommend the other way around, but was having issues with code and spacing the unit far enough from windows and doors. I have never had cost quoted as Info the work myself

One time $30ish on an water pump $10 for 1/2 vinyl tubing and hose barb fittings. And 2gallons of white distilled vinegar every 6-12 months.
- you need to rerun gas line . Now that depends where you have to run it . I had to increase the line.
- electrical line needed for this in case you don't have one near the New heater location.
Installation is fairly straightforward if you have correct gas and electrical right there. If you hire a contractor to do it. Yes you will have to pay close to $1000-$1200 or more in Los Angeles area. Hire the right guy, and you could get away with close to $500. Be smart. I just had the same one installed few months ago.

I upgraded mine when I installed our tankless. I ended up running a new 1 inch gas line from the meter to my tankless. The manual will tell you the pipe size you'll need. I have a Navien 240 so couldn't use my existing 1/2inch line that also fed other appliances.
