I came here to mention the $150 national fuel rebate, but it looks like you’re on top of it.

So, uh, I can tell you that a 50 gal, high recovery, 4k btu, 0.63 E rating w/12 year warranty is $549 retail.

12

Sorry, but I’ll have to get back to you tonight… my rep is unavail for most of the afternoon. :meh:

13

let me know guy…you got till the 21st

14

Ooh! Ooh! Do me!

40 Gallon
Natural Gas
Direct or Power Vent
Any efficiency
Cheap

15

jim why not get something with .61 EF or better and get a check for 150 from gas company

16

I might, but it depends on what the premium is for a more efficient tank. Might cancel out.

Plus I submitted for a National Fuel rebate when I got my furnace several months ago and haven’t seen anything so I’m getting skeptical.

IIRC there are no tax credits for less than .8 efficiency right? Which means tankless.

17

Oh and I’m picking up the pricing sheet tonight when I pick up some other stuff…

We remitted our NatFuel rebate last week or two, I’ll let you know when it comes in, though I don’t imagine it’ll be immediate.

18

yea its.8

there is gas ones on there but im sure they are 1k or more

You can get some pretty hefty tax credits in conjunction with the National Fuel rebates for tankless heaters that actually make the tankless ones cheaper.

But you have to have it installed by a qualified contractor. On paper at least. And I’ve heard mixed reviews. The water isn’t “hot”, they’re too loud, need annual cleaning, aren’t reliable, etc. Still tempting because they’d be so much cheaper to operate and I don’t believe everything I hear, but I decided to pass.

yea i know what you are saying… i was told with tankless they dont get hot… unless you throw out over $1500… most people get them put in and still have a tank in the basement set on low…tankless is not good here when we have cold weather… i dont want to still spend 500 and then still have to go out and get a tank… right now the one i have does not work… if it worked then mabye i would think about tankless

so just got off the phone with seneca plumbing… and wow that guy was by far the biggest prick to me on the phone :tdown:
