people who go tankless have spent so much money they will have to
convince themselves it was a good move........


I don't think that's fair. Ransley says he's actually bought one for
$500 and installed it himself relatively easy. And he's happy with
the results. I think his opinion is worth more than most here most
of whom don't have one and just sling mud. Especially those that
continue to spout misleading information, like "The heat loss from a
tank unit helps heat your home in the winter." It's been pointed out
repeatidly that much of the waste heat in a gas tank unit goes up the
flue. And the heat that escapes the sides of the tank only helps heat
the house if it happens to be in the living space, which isn't where
most are located. And then, in summer, the heat is still added to
the house and if you have AC as most do, then you're paying to remove
that heat. Yet, this same sad misinformation continues.
