What it boils down to for a normal 1-story house, is which is more costly; heating fuel (gas-propane-oil-etc) ... or water. We have natural gas at our 'new' house, and am now considering this since our farthest faucet in the kitchen ... wastes what is in the feed line from the h/w heater to the outlet.
My 'presumption' is that water here in the Austin area, is more costly than the few gallons of natural gas usage over a year's time.
Comments???
