Tankless...

No, I didn't say Topless.

Our water heater went out. I'm currently on day 2 with no shower - but luckily, worked from home part of the day so nobody would notice the grease oozing out of my skull.

When the guys came to install the new one, they couldn't even get started. Our brand is rare, and shorter than usual. They can't move the vent. Our options, as a result, are electric or tankless - and although the cost is higher, we decided to go tankless.

I've read online some, and I'm not sure that this is the "best" thing, necessarily. It makes me nervous. I don't want to run water forever for it to get warm - what we are supposedly making up for in efficiency on the gas bill will be paid in the water bill. The tax credit will be nice, I suppose. I still just don't like that this is a decision we "had" to make because of the setup and peculiarities of this particular house.

I have before and after pictures, and hopefully I can post those soon. In the meantime, it's another crazy week and I won't be able to post tomorrow - but will hopefully post again soon!
