It used 9.417 kWh, or $1.53, instead of $22 burning 5.5 gallons of oil.

$1.53 OMG thats outragous!!! How can you justify that.! With the solar hot water 11 days works out to less than $0.75 Just kidding. WE are lucky being eco-renovators that we are able to do these things. Although I complain to my wife that I always have a tool in my hand. Like Xringer now, by applying some common sense and sweat equity we don't worry how long we are in the shower or running hot water for anything.

The only other guilt trip is, for me at least: Why did I wait so long to do this???

Congrats Xringer. Good job.
