The electric tankless water heaters will not supply you with enough hot water. If even half your fixtures were running at the same time you would use about 10 gallons a minute( most faucets put out 1.5- 2.5 gallons a minute) most elec. tankless heaters will do enough for about 1 faucet at a time maybe. A gas tankless will do up to around 7.5-9.5 gpm ,depending on the incoming water temp. Gas and elec both generate according to incoming water temp. If you are looking to go all electric look at a marathon tank type water heater,the have a plastic tank that will not rust out ,yu can get them upto 105 gallons, you will be alot happier with this product.

i’ve been researching them for an upcoming project,everything i have read and researched has been good,i am looking at them for replacements for tank water heaters in apartments(multi family) what i have found is for alot of use such as what you will be doing,having a 15 gallon reserve will be the move for you.
by the time you use the reserve,the other will be more than enough to do what you need.
i think there’s nothing better than hot water on demand.you don’t have the excess to worry about,no tank to have to place and no up keep for that tank.i’m a big advocate for it as you might tell.
