We want to purchase a tankless water heater, say a 9.4-?

Will need plenty of hot water because one bath will have a 34"x66" water-jetted tub & the other will have a two-head, large shower. So, two full baths; one-story house. All plumbing is on the same end of the house. Our tank water heater now runs on gas. What is the most reliable tankless brand? Is it worth the money to hire a pro for installation or is it fairly easy to do? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

You really do need a pro for installation. I've gone through the Rinnai installation school and can confirm that this is not a DIY task. That said, all the Rinnai units I've seen, whether installed indoors or outside have exceeded expectations. Your plumbing professional will also help advise if a single unit will cover your needs or if you would gain by zoned or series installed units. Remember, too, that while these units save money and provide "unlimited" hot water, they do not - as ...»
some think - produce instant hot water at the point of use. There will still be cold water waste til the heated water makes it to the fixture. As long as you are making the change investigate a recirculating system that will cut down on water waste and will also provide some winter freeze protection.
