It may take another 15-20 seconds to get there with a tankless unit. Waiting that long just to wash your face in the cold morning can be a long time. I am spoiled because I design and install these creature comfort items for people all the time, so its a must have item for me. An animal chewed my thermo switch on our recirc. pump a couple of years ago, so hot water was not recirculating in the system constantly. My wife would let me hear about the long 1:15 wait. Once winter came around, I knew it had to be fixed or else... Thankfully it was only a 15 min fix.
