I installed a tankless (natural gas) hot water heater and have been relatively satisfied with it. Did you consider a tankless?

[MrEnergyCzar]

@SaltyDawg55 Yes, I considered tankless electric but the peak wattage was extreme. I didn't want a natural gas tankless because having any nat. gas was out or against my plan. The heat pump cost sticker says $200 per year if you pay for electricity which is extremely low for hot water annually....

Will this work on the main floor/ As I have no basement and my heater is in my pantry.

[MrEnergyCzar]

@AReptileMan Unless your pantry is 10 x 10 you'd need a fresh air flow going in there at a minimum....otherwise it won't have air to pull the heat out of. Someone told me they vented theirs to the attic hot air which is an interesting idea. Check it out ahead of time before purchasing...

This is an amazing innovation. If every home were to replace their old water heater with one of these it would reduce global demand tremendously.

[MrEnergyCzar]

@oisiaa A 3 year payback is too long for an indebted populace but it would probably close 20 power plants or something close to that....

I want more vids please.  Love them.

[MrEnergyCzar]

@MAGTRAIN It says on the unit 30A minimum circuit size. Couldn't find anything about wire size. It uses the same wire that a regular electric hot water uses.  My unit was just swapped out. Hope that helps.

this is junk, way overpriced, and the wrong concept Sorry 1600 Dollars is a lot of money, I rather use coal at 150 Dollars a year, that's 10 years of usage for the price of buying one of these junky thing !

My hot water heater is hybrid heater, electric or coal

[JRP3]

@MrEnergyCzar I've always thought a water heater should be as high up in the home as possible where the most hot air was anyway instead of a cold basement. Even more so with a heat pump type water heater.

sownds like a good envestment.

@oisiaa It sucks that so many people live paycheck to paycheck. Smart investments like this are what allow people to keep themselves out of debt in the long run.
