 Rinnai Tankless Heater
I had a Rinnai 2532W installed at my Slidell,LA home in December. The unit mounted on the outside of my house weighs 49 lbs, makes NO noise, supplys 199,000 BTU'sm cost me $741+ tax. My neighbor is a dealer, so I got it at his cost. Plenty of hot water for 2 full baths, washer, and kitchen, but visit their web site(www.rinnai.com) or talk to them on there 800#.
Lots of models to chose from. Outdoor installation eliminates the need for stainless-steel venting kit which is a little pricey ($400 est). Won't freeze if gas and electric remain on.
My dealer/neighbor installed his unit himself, and he's NOT a plumber/electrican. These tankless hot water units have been around for decades, especially in Japan and Europe. I too ran into plumbers that didn't recommend them. IGNORANCE!
HomeDepot has one on display although they don't install and had no installers that they could recommend in my area!
Any good plumbing supply house will have one or two brands available and I'm sure can recommend a plumber.
