That guy who told me to go with tankless water heater was wrong for my house

My neighbor swore I'd save money switching to a tankless unit, but after 14 months of constant maintenance calls and a $1,200 repair bill, I'm back to a traditional 50-gallon tank. Anyone else get burned by advice that sounded good but didn't fit their actual situation?

That "constant maintenance calls" part hit home for me. I rented a place with a tankless heater once and it kept throwing error codes every few months. I switched to a 40-gallon power vent model when I bought my own house and haven't touched it in two years except to flush it once. Sometimes old school is just simpler for a regular house setup.
