I'll do tankless again in our house. I see no need to keep a giant tea kettle hot all the time. They do pay for themselves especially now with the high fuel prices. Last longer too

Perfect timing in advance of this big cold front.
That’s what the guys installing the stuff said too!!
Natural, I am Hoping to see a significant reduction in heating and cooling costs this year. Consumers Power makes plenty and is always bitching when the winter isn’t cold enough or summer is not hot enough for people to dump thousands into their greedy coffers! The price hike after a warm winter made me simply furious! “We LOST money this winter!“ was their cry! COW PIES says I! Jerks!!
I know my actual "bill" continues to rise but actual "use" is WAY down from the old days. One thing this new HVAC does is coast along at VERY low output for longer periods of time rather than "blast" out heat (or cold) and turn off then blast again and turn off. So we get a nice quiet and comfy heating cycle. The colder it gets outside the system reprograms itself to run longer and lower. Likewise on the AC side it also will run very slow without actually cooling the house but simply dehumidifying it. So in summer I can keep the stat set for low humidity and higher temps like say 78. And you can see the outside unit running so slowly you cannot hear it and the you can almost count the fan revolutions. Likewise when it's brutal cold like it's becoming this AM (only 3F currently) the furnace will him along very low with only one burner on at very low setting and very low fan speed. Nice system and much more comfy both seasons than the old 125k blast of hot, followed by cool down, then another blast of hot, followed by cool down. I guess much more efficient as well. Since being only a 70k furnace and running at low (40%) output is only 28k. Likewise the AC will drop down to only 3600 BTU and run like that to simply keep things dry and rarely ever "kick" up at all
