8 months ago my husband and I decided on a Hybrid Heat pump water heater and the price has DRASTICALLY droppedin the last 6 months to only 1K-1150 dependent upon where you shop. I can't do tankless becuase of the cost of City of Atlanta Water and having to wait 3-4 minutes to get hot water - house is two stories, 4,500 sq ft, right now there are only 2 of us, we are building to plan for at least 2 kids, all bedrooms are upstairs, we are VERY energy efficient, and we aren't shower hogs. We will eventually put an insta/hot in crawlspace to get hot water to kitchen. We planned to put the water heater in the attic to make it most efficient, if you think that's a bad idea we do have a utility room we can use that's 900 Sq ft upstairs in hallway away from our bedroom
What I'm worried about is all the mixed reviews - what do the professionals really think about these things??
