I've been procrastinating on this project. Not wanting to spend too much time and money on it,
in case it only works mediocre during the summer and doesn't work much at all during the winter..

But today, I saw this: AIRGENERATE AIRTAP RETROFIT A7 HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER 7000 BTU GAS ELECTRIC A-7 | eBay

For $437.00.. Seems like a pretty good deal, even if it was only used during the summer, since we are burning up about $2 (in heating oil) a day right now..

I think this Ebay price is about the same as a few years ago..
It seems like this DIY-type product has been discontinued by the company..
So, they are just selling off their old stock..?.

Side view on a standard hot water heater.

I think this can be installed pretty quickly and not require much tweaking..
Then, I can keep on having fun this summer!
