Jared420 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Good shit bro! You ever think about a tankless? I've got mixed reviews but I think most of the bad reviews are bad installs. Thanks man, the tankless heaters are just for your domestic hot water. They don't heat your house just make your hot water. Also there's no tankless hot water heaters that can use oil as their fuel. You need natural gas which unfortunately I have no gas lines available within a couple miles of my house. They also make electric tankless hot water heaters but I'm not sold on how well they work. Sometimes keeping it simple is best. The company I used to work for, we put in a lot of the gas ones and we had a fair amount of issues with them. More parts more sensors more things that can and do break. They are great in theory that you never run out of hot water but I'm personally not a fan because I've had to fix quite a few of them 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup they also recommend a flush on these systems every year so they don't save you any money as an install for a tankless costs about double a normal water heater and then it may save you $50-100 a year in energy costs but if you pay someone to flush it every year and do a maintenance it will cancel out 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yeah my sister has a tankless and the repair guy taught them how to do the flush themselves so they don't have to have someone else do it. They really like it, but they have a household of 5-7 on average if kids friends are living with them, so you can imagine the stress a hot water system gets every morning and evening.

I have worked on electric ones and the installation is easy as hell. I was just talking about for heating the water not to heat the house. Good shit bro! You ever think about a tankless?
