I have sold and used on-demand propane water heaters for the last 20 years in Alaska and can attest to their economy, simplicity, and years of trouble free service. In your part of the country,there is no worry of freeze damage, the main service problem we see here.
Paloma and Aquastar are two brands that do not require any electricty, while some of the other brands do.
They do require a life-style change, since they don't produce the volume of hotwater available from a conventional tank type waterheater, but the switch is easily made. The fuel savings is significant(and you will never run out of hot water).
