I had posted about changing out my circulating 80 gallon electric WH in the tank forum. I've decided that with my current setup I would probably be better served by going to a 199,000 BTU tankless. The current 80gal is upstairs in a closet and takes up way to much room. I live in a 2 story home on a slab with 2 showers and 1 large jet tub. I have a plumber/contractor that is gong to run the 3/4" gas line to the WH. The distance is about 45 feet. The gas meter is 2 psi per the provider.
I've opted for the Navien because of the re-circulation feature. I had considered Rinnai, Rheem, and Noritz. The Noritz was about $400 more than the others. The Navien is a a little higher priced than the Rinnai or the Rheem but would save me from buying a smaller tank to use as a buffer.
Is my assessment correct? Is the Navien a good unit?
