Are Tankless water heaters the right choice for a new home?

I am building a custom 2 story house in Nashville, TN. 4500 sqft. with 3 beds and 3 baths downstairs and 1 bed and 1 bath upstairs. There are 4 people (2 adults & 2 large teenage boys)in the household. The house has a below ground basement and we have plenty of water preasure from the city. Construction will start in March 2006.

Answers:

1Some like them, and some don't. The important thing seems to be that you get a plumber who has experience in installing these. The wrong size pipes can cause a lag time in getting hot water when you want it. Check out a couple of the links below.
