To me, they are waste of money unless you have a target area that is a long distance from the usual hotwater source and is rarely used. A conventional tank heater does not consume much energy keeping water warm when not in use - IF well insulated. And, a conventional tank heater tends to be MUCH cheaper to buy, and MUCH easier to install. That being said - if you have - let's say - an extra bathroom that is 70-100 feet from the main hot-water source, and it is barely used - then - using the main tank heater is wasteful - since much of the hot water gets cooled before it gets there. And - one other down-size to most tankless heaters. They do not sense the temp. of incoming water. Even with hot water fed to them, they still turn on. So, of you have any sort of preheater, like many people have with wood-stoves, you need a special type of tankless - often marketed for solar-water systems. It costs a lot more then the normal, overpriced tankless heater.
