Don, I believe that it is an electric tankless water heater and I would think that it would not be able to heat the water as quick as a gas one would. Steve did mention at one point that the gas was on the roof of the building and it would cost some big $$$$$ to get it ran down to the shop.

You can turn the hot water on today then go back in a month & you still have hot water, you never run out

Electric tankless heaters are NOT available up here any more...

We have a 50 gallon power vent LP water heater here. The only time that we notice that we are about ready to run out of hot water is when we fill the whirlpool tub and then someone takes a shower right after filling it.

Neil our water heater is natural gas. We dont have a power vent unit. Ours exhuasts right into the chimney which is also used by the furnace.
