Jokes on you, I got a tankless water heater, so I can cry in my shower for hours on end!
I just learned these are a thing. Probably more energy Efficient thank keeping a warm tank of water in your house, I'm guessing?
Pretty much, plus you don't have to worry about running out of hot water. They're pretty nice, and surprisingly simple to install.
They're both good and bad. If you have older pipes that are narrower than modern pipes it can take a few minutes for the water to become hot. My parents live in a hundred year old house and installed one, it's nice once it finally warms up, but it can take a good few minutes. During the winter the water is ice cold and takes even longer to warm up.
They are disappointed with it, but they had already sunk like $5,000-$6500 USD on it.
I can be. If you have a tank water heater it can be set up where it is off for most of the day but it will keep the water in the tank hot.
They are quite common in the UK, and have been the default for a couple of decades now. They are definitely more efficient, compared to a tank, as well as taking up far less space. You just need to make sure the model you choose can keep up with the demand. Nothing worse than a tepid shower.
The only situation I can see them being worse is with solar. If you have solar panels then dumping excess power into the water heater is a great way to not waste it. With a combi boiler, that is no longer an option.
My dang propane tank be hurtin when I be hurtin
All bets are off if I happen to put on an excellent playlist before I hop in
My apartment uses some kind of shared hot water main I could be in the shower long enough to slow cook the meat right off my bones
What pathetic human being requires hot water to sob uncontrollably and writhe on the floor of a shower? If you’re not becoming emotionally unhinged in a stream of ice cold water, you’re clearly inexperienced and have a lot to learn.
Right? Also you don't cry on the shower floor. When you finally stumble out you curl up naked on the living room or kitchen floor.
Thank you! I was gonna say what kind of bitch stops crying when the water gets cold. Cold is where your breakdown really gets productive!
Just let me recirculate with water with a little heater and pump them rinse off with fresh stuff
This baby will give you nearly 8 months of hot water before needing to be replaced.
Showers are like tactile white noise. Soothes my entire body.
