I'm not surprised at the stand-by losses of the Seaward hw
heaters.
There isn't much insulation there. Since I have it apart,
I was toying
with the idea of insulating the space between the tank and
the sheet
metal box with foam insulation. All of the working parts
are on the
front face of the tank, and I'd leave that with the
fiberglass it came
with. I might even put some rubatex insulation outside the
box because
I don't want to run the engine unless I have to. Hate the
noise.

yeah but ya love the smell, right?
