Tankless Salesmen vs The Plumber: 🚿 Don’t buy a tankless water heater until you watch this.
The salesman says, “Endless hot water for pennies a day.”
But the plumber has to explain why your $4,000–$10,000 install still leaves you shivering in the shower.
In this video, Roger Wakefield breaks down the REAL difference between the glossy brochure and what it actually takes to make a tankless water heater work properly.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
🔥 Why tankless is NOT a simple “swap” from a tank (it’s more like a surgical transplant)
🔥 The massive gas line upgrades most salespeople don’t mention (30–40k BTUs vs. 199k BTUs is a BIG difference)
🔥 Why your gas meter may need upgrading — and what that can cost
🔥 How hard water can destroy a tankless system in just 2 years
🔥 The annual maintenance requirement that can void your warranty
🔥 The truth about “endless” vs. “instant” hot water
🔥 What causes the dreaded cold water sandwich
🔥 When tankless is a luxury upgrade — and when it’s a financial mistake
Tankless water heaters aren’t bad. In fact, they’re incredible technology. But they are NOT budget solutions. They require proper gas sizing, treated water, annual flushing, and sometimes recirculation systems to perform the way you expect.
If you’re a homeowner trying to avoid a costly mistake — this video is for you.
If you’re a plumber tired of cleaning up after bad sales pitches — this video is DEFINITELY for you.

Because the salesman wants the commission.
I want your house to actually work.
