You live on a third floor with your hot water storage tank in the basement Where would a tankless heater need to be located to work effectively?
A tankless and a gas(with a normal tank) water heater both burn gas to heat the water, so they need vents to bring air into the space where they are located, and a venting system for the exhaust. Some considerations for tankless: 1) they require larger gas supply pipes; 2) they can be placed on most walls, but you still need room around them; and 3) they heat the water as it flows through the pipe, so you still have to deal with the cold water which is in the pipe. I mention the last one because many people think that they will immediatley obtain hot water. For your situation, placing the tankless heater on the third floor would require new gas pipes. Commonly gas pipes are 3/4" in a home, and a tankless unit may need 1" at a minimum. Having the water heater on the same level would provide you with hot water sooner. Placing the tankless unit where the hot water storage tank is may require less plumbing, so it could be an easier task. The water will take longer to heat, and you could be wasting energy of the heated water in the pipe. This can be partially resolved by insulating the hot water pipes. Insulating these pipes is a wise idea for efficiency in either location.
Can you have too much water pressure in a residential house requiring a pressure release valve?
The water pressure in my house is about 140PSI. Which is definitely dangerous. It happens more often than you would think. What happens is a city will use water supply lines which are too small for the water requirements. Therefore, they have to increase the pressure. You wouldn't want a pressure relief valve, because then if the pressure was too high, it would just spray water everywhere to release the pressure. You would want a pressure regulator installed, which is what I am working on for my house right now. Just to let you know though, you may have to get a thermal expansion tank for your water heater if you don't have one. See, the new pressure regulators have a check valve in them, which prevents water from traveling back into the city pipes once it has gotten into your house. When your water heater heats the water, the air bubbles in it expand, which increases the water pressure, and will probably cause your pressure relief valve on your water heater to blow. You can get a cheap water pressure meter at any improvement store to check it out. 50-60 PSI is ok. I would say you could take it up to 70 or 80 PSI safely.
