[Lincolnparkdc] Water heater install pricing

[regina arlotto]

Thanks Mark-
I have been intrigued with the tankless water heaters since we had our
current water heater installed and that technology was just getting
popular. What scared me off then, and now, is it sounds like there's
additional gas piping that has to be run, they have to be flushed or some
other maintenance every six months (which sounds onerous) and so overall
sounds super expensive? Maybe I've got it all wrong, so I'd love to hear
how you made the decision to go with tankless.
