NStar (power co) is said to be handling out $1,000 Rebates!!
But, they demand "Must be installed by licensed contractor".. No DIY...
That's the new version. It's ~5% more efficient based on the yellow Energy Star tag. I'll happily take that slight loss for half the price.

I'm DIY all the way on this. I had to clear a bunch of space in the crawl space to fit the plumbing. (new location is an add-on so there was a cement wall in the way) Now to start actually running pipes.
