  • You made the argument for me. Under what circumstances would all of them be in a parking lot in a circle all wearing the clothes they’re most famously seen on stage in? Why aren’t any of them wearing a t shirt or have a hat or wearing red? It’s convincing because it’s exactly what you expect to see.















  • Yeah, a tankless pulls down power like an EV, and since conversion to heat is 100% efficient (loss in the pipes on the way to your shower notwithstanding) you actually need that power to heat up the water at the speed a tankless sends it through. That’s why the gas ones work better, hydrocarbons store a shitload of energy.



  • I’ve talked to many plumbers about this and what I’ve learned is that if you don’t have gas, it won’t be as good (on average). New construction with dedicated power is a different story, but retrofits are often limited to whatever the old water heater was using, which by definition isn’t enough. Running new power is likely to be a headache.
