In reply to Water Heater Problem & Recommendation by greggor36 on January 7th, 2009 11:46 AM [Go to top of thread]

The concept of an energy star heater is more hype than reality, considering that any electric heater you get will put the same energy into the water with the same electric element rating. The difference then is the amount of insulation around it, which you can add yourself.

You'd do as well getting the cheapest water heater, insulate around it, put in valves and disconnects for the next time and swap them out every 5 years or so.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.
