Marathon: The Last Water Heater You’ll Ever Buy
Date: Sunday February 3, 2008Posted in: Green Homes
This water heater lasts 36 years. Comparing it to a tankless water heater, it has a .94 efficiency factor compared to a .99 efficiency factor of a tankless, which translates to a $20/year difference in energy costs.
But then you have to consider the savings in installation cost. A tankless costs about $2250 to install, whereas a marathon costs just $950. That means that $20 difference would take 68 years to pay back.
