Bought my Noritz today. Would post a pic, bui I dont feel like looking for my camera. I bought a N-0751m. Got it for $645.00 out the door at Ferguson's. Now, I am shopping propane companies in town.

Has anyone ever tried Tying a Tankless water heater hot line into an existing Tank type water heater? Where I am going to put this Noritz will be backed right up to my Existing tank heater in the garage. Just thought about that one. It could be a storage type tank, and just keep the old 40 gallon turned on to keep the temp up if it is a loss. Maybe add a timer, that way it is only heateing the water during the times i need it to. I dunno, the more I think about it, the more I think it would be a waste.

The reason I asked is by the time you have your tank and lines installed and your tank filled, and buy the heater and venting you be almost as high as the solar equipment for a solar system.

Think about it............

Nah, ill be looking at about 1500 out the door once its done. Then the cost of the gas. 100lb tank, wonder how long that would last. How many BTUs can one gallon burn, and for how long?

Those estimates are pretty wild. How do they kow what you are paying per gallon for propane? You do relize propane fluctuates right with gasoline as they are both derived from crude oil? Propane heaters are only slightly cheaper to run than electrical heaters in FL and if gas goes back up again, propane will follow. It's conceivable that you could actually pay MORE with that propane heater at a later date than you currently are with your electrical one. Electricity prices do not follow oil prices around here. If oil goes up again you will be paying more than you are now.

Something to think about. The cost of tankless natural gas is one thing, propane is another.........
