Can You Get A Tankless Hot Water Heater That Runs On Heating Oil?

Just wondering the availability of tankless hot water systems that run on heating oil. I do not have propane or nat gas in my house and would not want to go electric.
What is the best alternative? What kind of payback time am I looking at with something like this, I am likely selling the house next year, should I not even bother with this….

    You won’t have time to re-coup your investment in 1 year. As far as an oil burner, you would have to do a search of all the major manufacturers. I have never heard of one, but there might be one somewhere. Good luck!

    What Tkahrs is talking about is a loop that is installed inside an oil fired boiler. If you don’t have a boiler then you can’t do it with oil. If your heater is not broke and you intend to sell within the next year or two it is not worth making a change.

    We have one and it is fantastic. Hot water always on demand. Only disadvantage boiler stays on all year but I have not seen an increase in oil consumption. Plumber installed it.
