So I took the dogs out this morning and noticed water coming from under the garage doors. Went to the garage and saw water flowing from the top of the hot water heater. I shut off power at the panel and turned off water valve to stop it. Presumably the tank is done after only 6.5 years (6 mos. after end of warranty).

I'm considering an electric tankless system to replace it. (We don't have gas service or an inground propane tank here.) I understand tankless systems are more expensive and use more electricity when in use (but only use power when in use) but also expect they have much longer lives and aren't subject to the same leaking as with a tank.

Does anyone have experience with them? Any particular brands / models liked or disliked? Any issues with them?
