Ditch The Tank For Longer Hot Showers — And A Tax Credit
Monday, July 16th, 2007
I love taking an absurdly long hot shower after spending a day in the shop. I can do so because the people who built my house expected a bunch of kids to live here, and they installed two big-ass hot water heaters. That’s the good news. The bad news is that I’m shelling out cash to keep 110 gallons of water hot all the time, even when I’m out of town.
Rheem’s tankless water heaters sound like a better answer. Through the use of a very efficient heat exchanger, they heat quickly enough to provide a continuous supply of hot water on demand, meaning I keep my long showers and pay less for my gas bill. Did I mention some of them qualify for a $300 tax credit, too?
