Here's another idea

Never run out of hotwater? Yes, it's True!


You don't use hot water 24 hours a day, but, you're paying to heat water all day long. With a standard water heater, you heat and reheat the same water…even when you're sleeping. Forever Hot Water tankless heating technology is a more efficient way to heat water while saving money and recapturing valuable space in your mechanical room.

With any water heater, the trick is to make certain that you don’t run out of hot water in actual usage. Once you run out with a storage-tank water heater, you have to wait a long time for it to heat up again. But a Tankless System can easily keep up with the demands of your luxurious bath environment.

For instance, a whirlpool bath in a master bath will usually hold 60 to 80 gallons. This whirlpool bath will get filled with a conventional 100-gallon tank but there won’t be enough hot water for anything else. If your plans also include one of those multi-head showers pouring out water at 10 to 15 gallons per minute, quick arithmetic will tell you a 50-gallon conventional tank will last only 5 minutes. With a Tankless, if you size it to work at the moment of peak demand, you will never run out of hot water.

Imagine having the ability to freely set the hot-water temperature using a remote control display pad. Forget about fiddling around with the control ***** in the shower while your conventional hot-water tank tries to keep up. You see, while tank water heaters will heat up to a single preset temperature, usually 120 degrees F, most Paloma Tankless models allow you to set the temperature between 100 and 140 degrees F instantly, and our commercial products, up to 180 degress.

And a Tankless is a smarter way to use energy resources, because gas is used to heat water only when you need it. The conventional tank-type water heater keeps burning fuel when you’re not using it. So the next time your shower turns into the "Big Chill," you should wonder what benefit you got by burning gas during the day while you were gone.

Do you know that it is possible to gain more room to your home as well? While considering that a hotwater tank does take up a lot of room, you can also replace your boiler system to work with your tankless system heating your home and keeping up with the demand of the large bath's or extra long showers. With this in mind, think about what you can now do with that full room that was completely dedicated to your boiler and hotwater tank, can now be anything you want it to be!

If you would like to learn more, don’t hesitate to call or email for further information or an evaluation of your current system.

I would really like to get a tankless system, but I imagine the costs are a little much. What are we looking at to replace a 50 gallon power vented tank?

whenever looking into quality there is a cost increase, but with this you gain it as you use it (or don't use it, either way always saving).

It's not the amount of water you are storing that counts, you see I have replaced 120galon tanks with one single tankless! How? Easy, i just need to sit down with you see your house and learn how much hot water you would like to be able to use at one time.

Being in Miss, you aren't out of my area if you would like to meet. Or feel free to ask more questions here on the message board, or email me

tankless water heaters require 2x60 amp breakers.

I am guessing you are talking about an electric tankless needing double pull 60amp breaker?

Gas fired tankless only need single pull 15amp.

You could always forget about the furnace, sell the house and move to warmer climate.
