They do have a threshold flow required in order to come on and produce hot water. This can be a problem when just a little hot needs to be mixed with the cold.
They also require more maintenance, prone to clog with calcium deposits, contain complex circuitry and flow switches to match the heat level to the flow. If something goes wrong, will the parts be supported? Will it be cost effective to repair it? Or have it repaired?
I installed a gas, whole house water heater for a friend of my wife. She bought it, thinking it was a way to lower energy costs.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
