Yeah I have gas furnace/stove/water heater/dryer. But still not bad considering my habbits.

Not worth it if it doesn't give out free reach arounds.

I bought a programable thermostat when I bought my house 3+ years ago. I used it quite a bit back then, but now I work from home most days, so I shut off the programs and now just leave it at 77* all day every day.

I'll go with a marathon. Inline is fine if you have minimal demand.
I turned off the water and the marathon water heater in my old house when we left on our honeymoon. We were gone for 7 days, house temp, 52*, and when I got back, the water was still lukewarm.
Don't think there is a lot of wasted energy there...

If you had your water heater set to lukewarm, that would be a logical argument. And you'd be taking some cold ass showers. However, it's likely set between 120 and 140, which takes a LOT more energy to maintain than a 20 degree difference to ambient temp.

With temperature, just like speed and anything else physics, the higher the number the more energy it takes to sustain or increase.

My dad has had a Bosch tankless and it sucks balls. Still can't get the damn thing dialed in right. It's either melt your skin off or cold. Fucker isn't even 3 feet from the shower.

So your dad is the first person I've heard of that can't get a tankless water heater to work right and your brother has the only plasma tv still prone to ghosting and image burn-in.

I'm detecting a theme here, Cletus.

1. His plasma tv is an "old" plasma and yes believe it or not it ghost. 2. It has a nice BIG vertical yellow line on the left side.
