![]() Well it happened again. The 2nd hot water heater started leaking.
I am going to replace the narrow trailer style gas hot water heater with a tankless gas water heater. It is110,000BTU per hour 85% efficient unit. I figure it can raise the temperature of 3gpm of water about 62°F. Even with cold winter water it should still be able to heat the water up to 100°F at 3gpm. It cost $600 and has 4 inch intake and exhaust. There were more expensive ones, $900 buys a 7.5gpm but the intake exhaust are 5 inch. I have a 4 inch exhaust for the existing water heater and a 4 inch exhaust for a in wall heater that has been removed. And I ran a wireceptacle for a tankless heater a few years ago while under the house rewiring some stuff. So the intake and exhaust holes and electrical are already there. Just add water heater. |
