What size? they come in many different sizes. and it depends on where you plan on putting it at. do you need to run new pipes? it could be as easy as an hour wich would cost for labor as little as a hundred bucks. plus the cost of the heater. at any rate it is well worth the extra money. they are a huge money saver.

You have to also run a special elec circuit to them because they use alot of elec. ( high amps) unless you are going to use gas to heat the water. Then you will need pipe chimney to exhaust the gas/ fumes. Also ,both types have problems with mineral build up in the heater core. So you will need a water purifier to filter the water that supplies the heater. Many people have removed them( tossed them out) and replaced them with a regular water tank to avoid all the maintenance problems. Many plumbers willl no longer install them . So do your home work, you wont save any money with one. HAHAHAHA ,,One hour and $100 ,what a joke that is !!! 2 to 4 thousand is more like it.
