$400 is he can't.

My Furnace is H-E, but the water heater is not. Once it is, the Chiment can come down and I can re-claim the 26"x26" floor to ceiling "box" in the bathroom.

But the idea of having to run 50-150A service to each bathroom (and a new main breaker cabinet - http://www.gotankles...requirements.html ), or new gas lines to each sink (and possible exhaust), isn't terribly appealing. I saw a "how it's made" show on TV that showed these A.O. Smith HE tanks being manufactured. Neat stuff, but spendy - $2k! http://www.hotwater....idential/gas.html I have no idea how long it would take to pay for itself (it probably can't), but natural gas isn't going to be getting cheaper... Cheers, Scott.

Smith will probably have to have competition from LG or Samsung to be forced to reduce the price. :-( Cheers, Scott.
