You’ll have no hot water in reserve when the power goes out.

You’ll have to put in new circuits and run a dedicated line to each unit you install if you do multiple electric units.

These work better if located very near the point of use.

You may need a permit/inspection in your location or with your insurance company before you can install.

Any savings depends on how much water you use.

Have you been using a timer on your tank heater? You can cut your heating timme from 24 to 2 hours a day and save a lot of money.

This is a big deal. During Hurricane Andrew, I was without power for a week, yet I was able to take a warm shower every day.

I have a 3500W generator hot wired into my panel box (mobile home) and I have practiced with what I can run and what I can’t during a SHTF episode ... 30 gallons of conditioned gasoline in storage, rotated every 4-6 months or so (like, when I feel like it)
