Seabee1973 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Let's just examine hot water. I think that the typical electric hot water heater pulls 30A at 220V. That's a load of 6,600 W. And it takes the water heater, what, 20 minutes to warm back up after somebody uses all the hot water? IAnd that admittedly really quick and dirty math says that recycling the hot water heater once will completely drain two car batteries, all by itself. How many car batteries you figure it takes to heat a house in Vermont for a day? ---------- ? Hot water heater you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Point you have? You don't have a "hot water heater" because you don't heat hot water, instead you have a "water heater". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
