What is bad about saving money and using less electricity while also being able to tell the grandkids you are saving the environment by polluting less?

In the Villages, the tankless heater is outside, where it starts quite hot already from the sun heating it for free. Plus any leaks do not flood the house.

Tankless water heaters can be 24%-34% more efficient for households using 41 gallons of hot water or less daily, and 8%-14% more efficient for those using around 86 gallons daily.
