No longer, it heats instantly, but the cold water is still in the pipes. One issue is that you can't use one of those circulating pumps at a remote faucet that keep hot water in the line as the constant on/off it causes at the tankless is hard on the igniter and will void the warranty-you need to install a storage tank of some kind which sort of misses the point. Plumbers here might have a more elegant solution, and I'm all ears.
