This depends on the size and model line in question. Basic models start at around $200. Deluxe, or larger tank units can run over $1000 and even more for commercial operations.
Consumer reviews list several gas hot water heaters at the top of their list. Among them are Rheem, Reliance and Eccotemp. You can find a complete line of water heaters at stores such as Home Depot or Lowe's.
In addition to a full line of traditional tank water heaters, Rheem also offers tankless water heaters that are designed to leave less of a carbon footprint on the environment. The company's Prestige� Series Condensing Tankless Gas and Tankless Gas units are designed for homes with busy families, luxury bathrooms or vacation homes. These units provide quick start up and ample supply to run a variety of water heating applications simultaneously. Tankless electric water heaters are smaller and designed for point-of-use applications. They fit under bathroom or kitchen sinks and are perfect for small, detached buildings.
you want your cold line coming tying into both inlets on the water heaters and the hot lines tied onto the outlet side of the water heaters evenly (so they get even draw and one water heater doesen't have to work harder tnan the other). your recirc line coming in ties into the cold line in beetween the two water heaters with a circ pump going twards the cold line and the other end of the circ line tying into the hot line on the furthest fixture. on the cold line coming in you need a ball valve, check valve and expansion tank before it ties into any of the heaters. NOTE: The solution above is for tanks in parallel not in series.
You can find in-line water heaters at any of the Home Depots in NYC, or at just about any plumbing or electrical store.

Do you have one of those old green and white Westinghouse water heaters? How about the Kenmore slim tank version that came out a few decades back? Those water heaters were classics, and many of them are still working just fine, but are you spending more than you need to on hot water?
Thermazone is a trademark name by United Refrigeration. Currently Rheem manufactures this product line. Older models, say 9 years ago before United bought the name, were manufactured by Norydyne. Currently ICP has NOTHING to do with this line. Its a Rheem product. These product carry the same warranty as Rheem if registered. Product support is excellent.
The top of the line residential on demand water heaters can run between 7 and 9 gallons per minute at 199,900 BTU. All water heaters perform roughly the same job-- they raise the incoming water approximately 30 degrees C at a rate sufficient to support at minimum 2.5 gallons of water being used per minute. This is about 16,600 BTU.
If it has one it should be on the cold water side at the top of the tank. All heaters do not have one and the main water line has to be shut off instead.
Propane tankless water heaters use propane gas as a fuel source, while electric tankless water heaters use electricity. Propane heaters typically have higher heating capacities and can provide hot water more quickly, but they require a gas line and proper ventilation. Electric heaters are easier to install and maintain, but may have lower heating capacities and higher operating costs.
Yes, 1/2 inch supply to fill boiler will work fine. Piping going to baseboard heaters needs to be sized properly. 1/2 inch piping to baseboard heaters not recommended. Most hot water baseboard heaters piped with 3/4 pipe.
