I looked into it a few years ago & decided to stay with the conventional system. The regular 50 gallon tank is about 1k to replace & the hybrid unit was at the time around $2500. The plumbing/piping work is extensive, the unit has to sit on the concrete floor instead of on the raised platform and in a closet where my regular heater is located. It takes 2-4 years to break even. All said and done, I decided to pass on the hybrid unit. Mike Scott & other plumbing companies can install this unit.
