    Tankless water heater

    While I have yet to do any hot water in my shop, based upon experience at my northern WI cabin with a good sized tankless propane water heater I would say that is the BEST choice. I did the installation myself, including a power vent because it goes horizontally once in the attic. One never runs...

    Radiant tube heating

    Tankless water heater

    I am nearing completion of an auto shop for myself and wish to have hot water at a sink, so I am looking for something less than a "whole house" electrical unit. Can anyone make suggestions? I have seen a Tempura and also noted that Rinnani gets good reviews within thsi forum. Thanks, jim
