That's an excellent article Will. I have been saying that stuff to buyers for over 2 years.

I went to the Rinai site a few years ago and put in my information. According to THEIR formula (kind of like EPA saying you will get 32 MPG) I would not break even on my new tankless installation for 18-20 years. The unit only lasts 17-20. Pay off? I think not...

It's interesting the different between tankless in the US and Europe. When I was in Europe they were everywhere. The big difference though is that they were installed INSIDE the shower right above the head. They are a lot more efficient over there, I believe the reason was natural gas is more expensive than electricity. They worked great though!
