I already know we consume more than our fair share, and I know I'm not really willing to change our lifestyle any more than we have. Awful? Absolutely. But I'm not going to give up electronics, hot water, or my car, solar is prohibitively expensive, and I'm not going to put any more effort into the purchasing and preparation of food (which I already detest doing with all my heart), so, honestly, what's the point? <BR/><BR/>I think I'm suffering from everything overload.Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19093186.post-23787777349822132892008-11-23T20:50:00.000-05:002008-11-23T20:50:00.000-05:00Maybe I can help ease your guilt over heating your...Maybe I can help ease your guilt over heating your water?<BR/><BR/>When we built an in-law suite so my mom could move in under our roof last year, we had a water heating issue. Our heater was already too small for us, much less adding her - so we replaced it with a Rinnai tankless water heater.<BR/>It still uses oil, or gas, or electricity to heat your water - but it only heats it when you need it. No sitting around keeping a whole tank warm when you're not using it.<BR/>We figured the ROI would be around 3.5 years had we been buying it for cost savings alone. Since we purchased it for functionality - well, it's priceless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
