Does anyone have a tankless water heater that you can recommend? [View all]

Hi All,

Just as my Biden Bucks (borrowed term) arrived, my water heater decided to start acting up.

I am looking for a tankless, high-efficiency unit, well made, for a resonable price, and offered by a company that will honor a DIY install.

I really like the Navien, made in South Korea, but they will not honor a DIY install.

Hiring a licensed plumber in the not-so-great state of TN pretty much ensures a screwed up install.

Thank you in advance!
