Standby losses of electric tanks is very low plus new tanks are far
better, better insulation and what losses do occur help keep the space
around the tank warm.

with such low electric rates theres no advantage to tankless


I have a friend at work who is very much into GREEN. He added one in
conjunction with his solar water heater and he is pretty happy with
the combo. He has worked in shipyards most of his life so he was
capable of doing all the work himself.
