Then, 4 years later the replacement went. Of course, this was not covered under warranty. At that point, I went with the tankless Rinnai. I have had it now for about 4 years with no problems. It works great and has a 30 year warranty. As far as savings are concerned, I am not really sure but I think it is saving me about 10-20 per month. It cost about 2800 completely installed. The warranty alone is worth it to me. There must be something in the water here that destroys regular hot water heaters.

Read the fine print. If the unit is not connected to a softwater system the warranty is nole and void. So our plumber told us before he installed one for us. Needless to say we went with a tank model.
