Direct-vent units protect indoor air, while vent-free models skip exterior cuts. Weigh off-grid reliability against room codes, moisture, and venting costs.
Yes, you can add a tankless water heater to an existing system, but breaker panel capacity and water line sizes determine whether you need utility upgrades.
