Telling us what your monthly electric bill is is meaningless because every poco has different kilowatt hour rates.

Since you want to add a large electric load to your service you should do a load Calc to make sure your service can handle the additional load.

Just trying to get an idea or two on whether going tankless is a better alternative or just replace the hot water heater since its already 10 years old. Figured there's a lot of guys here that may have done the conversion and could give me a few pointers before I call an electrician/plumber. Of course I would do as much as possible myself to lower the labor costs.

So far I heard that its a large electric load and I will probably need a new 200amp panel and I'll have to run a larger line to it. OK, so that's doable especially since I'm looking to increase outlets in the garage for my compressor, welder and other equipment, so the new electrical panel would be done first.
As for the tankless, what size line? More then the 10/3 I have going to the current heater now? The run from the panel to the laundry room is about 40'. Is there any other ancillary equipment that is required to hook up and run the tankless unit or is all self contained?. Aren't there different size Tankless heaters for smaller homes? Can anyone recommended a name brand from experience?

I'll do whatever is needed if its worth it in the long run. Stating my current electric costs is just to show how conservative we are with our electric use with a little humor thrown in.

We've only just moved into the house last December. We have all brand new 1 month old appliances which are better rated then our old ones in the old house. Now I'm looking to upgrade utilities as needed.

Again, the house is all electric zoned heat and central air to each room controlled by adjustable vents, fans on each ceiling and led lighting thru out.

Again thanks for any info.
