Frugal really scary, but in the summer when no heating and are therefore not work continuously, when you put the water you must wait between 5 and 10 seconds to warm up.

Definitely something people should take into account when they're buying a water heater. Unfortunately, I wasn't surprised when I read this. But that just means there's room for improvement. Michael: Excellent! I'm sure lots of people will appreciate your advice and DIY info. David:

I strongly suggest you go to the DOE site www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=new_specs.water_heaters and read the comments. The DOE's final criteria for Energy Star ratings for water heater, which is referred to in your report, does not come close to meeting the recommendations of very respected entities including the Lawrence Berkley National Labs to correct the flawed testing that has produced invalid energy efficiency for gas tankless water heaters since 1998. This is discussed by many who aren't tied to the gas special interest even the California Energy Commission. See also the Edison Electric Institute, TVA and Microtherm,Inc. comments. We all deserve better. Thanks Wonderful site and very balanced and informative info.
