Are the tank-less DIY friendly?
As far as getting rid of the old one... if you are not going to make a smoker (or a missile) take it to a recycling place... in my hood any metal object left in the alley gets hauled away on trash day.

Depends on your diy level-but yes, two simple water connections, a power outlet (they have a cord and plug) and a gas line in (might need a pro for this as the supply houses won't sell the line or fittings unless your certified -or you need to use black pipe). You'll also need the chimney kit if its an indoor unit -they also make outdoor-and you'll need to vent this outside, no harder than a dryer vent, but you'll want to mount on exterior wall and hopefully you'll have easy access to vent above grade.
