The only bullship is your knowledge, at my previous location I
installed a $500 Bosch ng tankless, my bill went from 20 to no more
than 10$ in summer, that includes gas dryer and stove, my payback is 4
years, where I am now is Ng Tank and last summers gas bill is back to
no less than 22 with gas stove and dyer. Tank Ng are only near 60%
efficent even with an 82$ efficent burner.

BUT, can you get 140 - 160 degree water out of it?
I thought not. It doesn't matter if the junk mf's are FREE to run if you
can't get what you need out of them.
