Hello,
Towards the end of last summer (August), I installed a Marathon 50usg hot water heater, which replaced my indirect fired oil heater. So far - it has been working better than expected. Previous to switching, my oil bill was $135 per month with the indirect oil, just for DHW. With the installation of the Marathon, my electric bill rose by roughly $40-50 per month, for a total monthly saving of roughly $80 per month. Not a bad pay-back. Just thought I would post this should any one be considering replacing thier DHW tank. The Marathon heaters seem like a good investment. The initial cost is substantially more than a "conventional", but the payback and savings seem well worth it.
Happy new year.
