I would like an estimate on installing an electric tankless water heater.

currently have 50 gal electric heater. we have two big commerical dish washers that service surgical instruments. our demand has increased and appears the 50 gal is not doing the job. Would a gas heater be more efficent and if so need cost. There is a gas line close to current heater from a gas heater in whse. so hook up should be no problem.

Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters are the most commonly used water heater models. They heat water twice as fast as electric water heaters do, but the cost of operation is less than half that of an electric model. However, you also have to add in the cost of installing a gas line to your home if you don't already have one. Gas water heaters can be fueled by either natural gas or propane. Gas can also fuel storage type as well as tankless water heaters.
Gas
There are also safety considerations involved in installing and operating a gas water heater. In earthquakest gas water heater models is up to 85% while that of electric models can be up to 98%.
