    Eemax TankBuddy -- Opinions Sought

    Thanks for the comments Dana. I keep hearing myself say (in a Brooklyn/Long Island accent), "Hey, who knew I had a Trombe Wall House?" Considering we named the house "Casa de Hunu" maybe it shouldn't be surprising. I sent you an email with a link to a Facebook post with photos of the "solar...

    Eemax TankBuddy -- Opinions Sought

    Thanks again for the continued responses. As far as installing the TankBuddy, it would be a cinch for me. I have decent plumbing skills -- having done a ton of plumbing on a house we restored a decade ago. I made all the really bad mistakes already! I can solder pretty well but lately I have...

Honestly, I am also interested in the concept on a pure "geek" level and would love...

    Eemax TankBuddy -- Opinions Sought

    To be clear, my experience with our tank running out of hot water has been a very quick change from hot to freezing -- it seems to me that this would only help during the in-between time when the water is no longer hot, but not cold either. For me that is a very short time. But maybe I'm missing...

    Eemax TankBuddy -- Opinions Sought

    I'm wondering if anybody has an opinion on (or experience with) Eemax's TankBuddy. The TankBuddy is a small tankless heater that is designed to work with a typical tank heater. They claim to get you close to 2x the effective hot water from your tank. As far as I can tell it is only sold through...
