Tankless Electric

Can't wait to see how this pans out.

FWIW, I have measured my incoming water in the winter after a cold spell of 33-degrees F. Most people want the outgoing water for a shower at about 105-degrees, and it generally loses at least some on the way to the shower, plus, you'd probably want to mix in at least a little cold...this can give you an idea of the temp rise, in my case it could be 80 or more (the dish washer is pretty useless without it being MUCH hotter unless it has internal heaters to condition the water - some do, some don't). It takes a LOT of power that is MUCH easier to achieve with NG verses electric given most people's panel.

Other than a point of use water heater, most electrical tankless systems are inadequate in many locations because of both the available power and the temperature rise at a volume that makes taking a shower or filling a tub viable

quote; the two conjoined breakers are actually a200 amp ge panel.

NO! They are actually a 100 amp breaker on a 240 v feed. EACH leg is only 100 amps.

You're misunderstanding me. GE is the only manufacturer that does this. Here isa picture of a 200, made by stacking 4 100 amp breakers together

Good Thing they are Locked out.

What ever that is written on the handle is the amperage of the breaker. Having a breaker like this does not mean that they add together to make a larger breaker.

This is incorrect, ITE was the first to do this in the 1970's & Cutler-Hammer did use that style also as shown in the photo below.
