If your house doesn't have natural gas, tankless isn't usually feasible. Electric tankless units draw so much power that they usually require a panel upgrade.

Agree, and actually many nat gas retrofits require a larger delivery line to the house to handle a tankless, as they have the similar demands for gas as a whole house HVAC (heating side). And that ain't cheap or a DIY project you can hide from the utility company.

So, I used my zip code of 15642 to find a local store and the price was $1,699. I used the author's zip code of 97202 and the price is $1,199. Can't believe how much of a price difference there is. Shipping to my zip code is $75.00 and tax of $76.44 for a total price of $1,350.44. Hope the price goes lower.

Tankless is far less efficient for a house that is your primary residence. As a vacation property, absolutely.

Heat pump is far more efficient even with having to maintain a column of water.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the federal tax credit will exist for 2022? All I can find says it expired Dec. 31, 2021.

I think this depends on people's "definition" of efficient. A heat pump can transfer more energy than is put into it, so it's going to be more "efficient" (except for storage standby losses). However for many people, a tankless would be more "efficient" because it can produce the same amount of water for less money (gas being cheaper than electricity). Especially if it's a condensing tankless.

Have had one for years, love it. Only cost me $300 or so installed after sale, rebate, and self install. I grabbed a wifi unit marked down for $20 later. Like that I can control it with my phone. Always in "Energy Saver" mode, then switch to "High Demand" if we need we need it

Yeah, it seems the MSRP of the 50 gal jumped from ~$1250 to $1699.

The full electric and this model uses the same wattage according to Home Depot page:
Wattage (watts) 4500 W 4500 W
That means, we face the same question of shelling out some $1000 or more for the electric upgrade? Any thoughts? TIA

This is true.

With the price of NG the monthly bill is going to be lower even than heat pump.

I was looking at it from the total energy consumption (btu)

I wanted a tank water heater because I am switching from gas to electric, would like hot water when we lose power, and it's also nice to have a heat pump down in the basement acting as a dehumidifier.
