    BTU Estimation (using App) seems high?

    Reading through this again - for house 3, I have been thinking about replacing the siding with cement board because I feel like painting it is useless. Maybe it is just because, by comparison, I never need to paint the others! It just looks so crappy. If so, I was thinking of putting a layer...

    Dana, I just want you to know how much I appreciate this! It is incredible how knowledgeable you are, even down to the particulars of CT - I feel like I am talking to a home doctor. I won't have access to some of these things for about a week, but I will definitely get back to you by then...

    Not able to calculate any decrease in savings?

    Wow, you guys are incredible. I have to admit, upfront some of this is quite over my head. It seems that insulating the pipes sounds like a pretty good idea (although it seems not for too long) if I know what to use and how to do it properly. I think? In terms of cranking up the heat...

    Not able to calculate any decrease in savings?

    Thank you for the input so far! These ideas are really interesting, and I’ll have to research them further. Demand: There are three bathrooms. Once is the 80 gallon tub and a base flow rate of 6 GPM. Its shower is 2 GPM or so. The other two bathrooms are 2.5 and 2.5. We're fine except...

    Not able to calculate any decrease in savings?

    Hello, We're currently on a highly efficient Buderus 30 gallon (86.6%) tank. My best guess for its operating cost is $261 per year or so based on my calculations. Based on the same calculations, increasing to an 80 gallon tank (which would cover my main interest in tankless - the showers)...
