Re: [Plumbing] Experiences downsizing a water heater....

said by JimDandy :

I used an electric tankless heater for eight years and it was great.

Lower energy cost which was important because where I was the electricity rate was $0.52 per Kwh. Figure on saving 30% on energy.

I would say $0.52 per kWh is far from being cheap.

When you live on a Caribbean island that generates electricity using fuel oil that is what electricity costs. No natural gas and propane has to be imported you are screwed. Water was also expensive in that most of it had to be produced using reverse osmosis and those pumps run on electricity. Water was $0.04 per gallon.

Life in paradise wasn't cheap.
