That is the brand I have installed and I like their products. It is definitely a job for a plumber. The unit mounts on a wall so modification to plumbing is required. Water lines need to be routed to enter the unit on the bottom. More than likely the 1/2 inch gas line to your old water heater won't be enough. A 3/4 inch line would need to be routed to it. A standard 120 volt outlet is required, so if there is not one near by, that would need to be added. Lastly, tankless water heaters cannot be vented in galvanized pipe to your existing flue and it cannot be common vented with other appliances. It would need to vented with stainless steel or PVC pipe, depending on the model out the side wall of your house. Hope this helps and good luck. Look into Noritz tankless water heaters.
