You could also consider a heatpump hot water heater. If your electric rates are favorable and you run a dehumidifier in your basement they can be cost effective. Likely if you have natural gas it may not work out financially.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Ended up going with a propane fired 50 gallon tank. New well pressure tank and heater are in now and water is back to flowing through the house

Cool


I ended up waffling procrastinating a couple months last spring and then my luck ran out and the other water heater let go all at once, had to drain it down and scramble to get a new one before the end of the week, but we got it done in a few days thanks to Bob.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

As with anything, I wish I hadn’t waited so I could have done things on my terms, not based on the needs and preferences of the most responsive plumber.

I suppose all’s well that ends well
