How much would it cost as well?
Answer
Well you have lots of good advice if you are thinking of harming yourself and if you are I urge you to follow it.
I am hoping you might be a budding entomologist ( Insect collector) wondering how to euthanize bugs. Or perhaps you want to test a bunch of carbon monoxide detectors or perhaps you do have a project in mind like the wood burning vehicles they used to get around during WW2 or want to try smelting some iron ore.
Anyway CO is not available to the general public in tanks such as co2 or O2 or other useful gases as it is much to dangerous to fool around with.

Traditional water heater or tankless water heater?
P-Train
I have to get a new water heater soon. I saw that their are new tankless water heater, but they seem that they would cost more to run because they are electrical, where a traditional water heater runs on gas.
Answer
I was actually in this same situation. I was pondering the tankless myself until I received my first estimate $2800 plus a hard wired carbon monoxide detector install by a certified electrician. I pondered the energy savings versus the initial investment. My plumber actually talked me out of it because of two reasons. The tankless came with only a 5 year warranty. The traditional comes with a 12 year warranty. Second, it takes many years to make up for the initial investment of the tankless. I paid $1000 installed for the 40 gallon propane. I relate this to a Hybrid vehicle with the engine costing upwards of $5000 more than the traditional gas engine. Cars only last so long and so do water heaters, so you may never see the dramatic savings that you are supposed to, if the unit fails after only 6 or 8 years. Don't get me wrong, the tankless systems are extremely efficient, but why only a 5 year warranty? Seems sketchy to me. My plumber told me this...he said if you were building a new house, I would tell you definitely! Since you have to retro-fit the system into your old house and use a power-vent out of the side of your house, plus don't know how long you will be in this house, go with a traditional 40 or 50 high efficiency tank.
