Today we said goodbye to our stalwart old hot water tank 
and hello to the world of on-demand water heating. 
Our new Navien water heater takes up less space, doesn't spend the energy to keep several gallons of water hot and idle waiting for us to use it and, with the supplemental tank we included, allows us to have showers back to back without the famed on-demand "cold water sandwich". The delay of getting hot water to emerge from the taps from the various sinks dotted around the house is no longer than it used to be (we have to have a little more patience at the top of the house than we do at the bottom).

The delay of getting hot water to emerge from the taps from the various sinks dotted around the house is no longer than it used to be (we have to have a little more patience at the top of the house than we do at the bottom).As the two of us are not major water hogs in general, we're not sure if its energy efficiency will actually pay off financially over the number of years we intend to stay at Touchwood, at least according to our calculations. It is, however, no doubt the way to go with regards to the future of water usage and energy accountability and will be a positive feature of the house for whoever takes it on after us.
In fact, I think I will test it out on its inaugural bath right now. If you don't hear any screams, then it worked just fine.
