Sold/Expired Water heater

[TRIGGER]

Changed over to tankless. I'm guessing it's 6-8 years old and never had an issue out of it. Hate to toss it without trying to find someone that may want/need it first.
Free just needs to be picked up in Cunningham.

Heckuva deal! Hopefully someone can use it

 

[Carlos]

I would, but it's 2.5 hrs away.
Someone can def use this.

How are you liking the tankless unit so far Trigger? And what style/brand did you get?

Went with the Rinnai. So far so good. The wife loves it not only for the endless hot water but also the space saving. The WH was in the laundry room but now the tankless is in the garage. Opens her up a lot of room. I'm interested in seeing the difference in the electric bill and propane usage.

When I first installed our tankless unit our electric bill went from $120-130/mo to just under $50. Of course, as you said, you have to factor in the propane usage as well, but it was definitely one of the better upgrades we've ever made as homeowners. Just replaced the one we bought in 2006, last year, with a new Rheem unit (same as the old one) but with a much higher capacity. I think you'll be happy for a long while with it.

You are also a prime candidate for a tankless unit, unlimited hot water!

My two sons would be taking hour long showers if they could. ! You know the way teenagers are ! My younger son is by far worse than the older !

Thanks again for the water heater ! Nice meeting you and your wife . We will put it to go use !

I was a fan until recently. Still may be, but recent issues have made me question the tech.

I replaced both hot water heaters 5+ years ago. A month ago, we lost the system due to a bad heat exchanger. The part was covered by warranty but labor cost me $2,300 to replace it. We were told that the failure was due to the fact that we had not properly flushed the system. But this system was maintained annually by the installer.

My opinion is it's way better to stick with the standard water heaters.
KISS.

YMMV

If I can get half the service from my latest install that I got with my first one I'll be very happy still. 17 years on the first one, and just replaced it Nov of last year with a new one of the same manufacturer, Rheem.

I bought a 50 and a 30 last week. Crazy the 30 was as expensive as the 50.

Tell them they have 10 minutes and then you'll be shutting the hot water off.

 

[TIGGREM2]

Yeah your right ! I will just close the water valve !!

My grandpa always went to bed about 830-845, you could stay up as late as you liked but the breaker was right over his bed and at 9 the power to the living room/tv would be shut off

A good dose of instant cold water will get them out of there in a jiffy!
