Never Enough Hot Water

I think I’m going to talk to my grandparents about getting a new hot water heater for this house. My grandpa replaced the old one right before we moved in, but he installed a small one. It’s so small that you can get about 15 minutes in the shower before it starts to turn cold on you. After 20 minutes you’ve got ice water. I thought about taking a shower this morning to keep me awake, but then I decided I didn’t like the thought of standing in ice water after hubby drained the tank for his morning shower.

I’d really like to have one of those Tankless Hot Water Heaters. Think about all the problems that would be solved! Not only are they more energy efficient, but you get endless hot water! Hubby and I have talked about going that route whenever our current one dies, but I’m just so sick of constantly waiting for the water to heat up.

I wish I lived somewhere around Seattle, Los Angeles, or San Diego. I’d definitely have the notion to call the Fast Water Heater guys to come install one today even though hubby would probably kill me for buying something that big without asking him first. I’d just remind him about how the tankless hot water heaters run at 80% efficiency, and he’d probably forgive me instantly.
