I do know that a natural gas tankless system costs me about 2 thousand dollars to install for a customer... I would have to charge the customer approximately 3500.00 to install it (all inclusive) thats probably why I have never landed a job installing one yet. The average BTU for a gas tankless is about 180,000 BTU, which is alot more than the old standard tank style which only required about 30,000 BTU. Therefore, I imagine that the electric tankless would require alot more electricity, and probably at least a double pole 40 amp breaker and 6 or 8 X3 wire. The fact that an electric water heater has no chimney, could drastically lower the cost of the installation. Keep in mind an instant tankless water heater has many small passages for the water to travel through to allow good, fast heat transfer. I would think that the passageways could get easily clogged without proper water filtration, and regular flushing and maintenance on the water heater ...according to its manufacturers instructions. Good luck !
