I don't understand your theory. In the end, you are
paying for it with
your money and you are paying more than the selling price
unless you
found a 0% deal.
What it "cheaper money"? I'd like to get some!
From 2002 through 2007 my investments earned 10+% (often
significantly
higher) while car and boat loans were below that.
Not a hard thing to understand but we all know why you don't.
This from a person who can't afford an on-demand water
heater that
would return his investment in a few years and had to
settle for
adding another energy hog conventional water heater.
On demand water heaters also have problems. Especially with
older plumbing.
they have a filter that plugs up easily.
You are correct. As usual Loogy does not know what he is
talking
about.
I did not have the proper sized gas line at the spot I was
to put the
heater and I would have had to spend some big bucks to
correct the
problem as my basement is finished with a drywall ceiling.
Additionally, I found out that due to our incoming water
temperature
during the winter the water would not heat up to our deisred
125F.
Lastly, considering my total costs I did a cost benefit
analysis and
found it would take me a over 20 years to recoup the costs of
installing a tanklesss system.
I had the water tanks removed and replaced with a single 40
gallon
unit for $750. It burns about $35 of NG each month and has
plenty of
supply for 4 showers.
Check that figure on the cost to heat the
water/month.......should be ~
$20-$25, not $35.
How do you separate out how much fuel a particular appliance
uses a
month, other than the general info on the label?
Oh...Loogy...the best way to deal with Loogy is either not to
deal with
him at all or ridicule him. There's no content in his posts..
I estimated a 50% savings or $10~$13 month. Not worth the
effort or
cost to install a tankless system.
The savings would have been more if the kids were still living
with us
but with just 2 in the house we made the smart choice.- Hide

Well, there's your problem! your "cost analysis" is backwards!!
Your
actual savings are greater percentage wise if you use LESS
water. Why?
Because you are paying to store hot water with a conventional water
heater. Here, learn something:
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/consume...eating/index.c...

Which states in part:
For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, demand
water
heaters can be 24%–34% more energy efficient than conventional
storage
tank water heaters. They can be 8%–14% more energy efficient for
homes
that use a lot of hot water—around 86 gallons per day. You can
achieve
even greater energy savings of 27%–50% if you install a demand
water
heater at each hot water outlet.
As usual, you don't have a clue.
Why you are so obsessed with my life is a big question. Don't you
have a daytime job?- Hide quoted text -

I dont' have a clue? Do you refute the facts above? Do you refute the
fact that YOU stated that if you used more water that you'd save more
with a tankless?
Your assignment next weekend is to go out and find the clue you don't
have,then make a visit to the wizard to get a brain.- Hide quoted

That's cute, you're taking a page right from Harry. When found out to
be dead wrong, and not a leg to stand on, start insulting and name
calling.
Go pick a fight with someone else. That is your sole purpose here.
Why you are such a nasty, negative little guy is beyond me.

As a start I suggest you start spending your time to actually working
instead of posting here all day and night.

See ya.- Hide quoted text -

Negative? It's not my fault you are wrong about the tankless water
heater. Do you still contend that if you use more water your savings
would be greater?

The best part of this exchange is WAFA's lapdog repeatedly coming to his
rescue and attacking him for his political BS in another post. I guess
it's a love/hate relationship.


If you were capable of abstract thinking, schitt-for-brains, you'd
realize that JimH and I agree that we will never agree on politics, and
that we have also agreed that that shouldn't be a point of ignition
between us.

But since you have no more brain power than a turd, you'd can't figure
it out.
