I'm thinking about replacing a failing 50gal gas water heater with a tankless unit. The problem is that my house experiences frequent power outages, sometimes days at a time. So far we have been able to weather the outages because the tank heater still provided hot water. If I switch to a tankless unit, that benefit goes away. I've seen an ad online for something called the Hugo battery backup for tankless heaters http://hugo-powersupply.com/ . It looks like it will do the trick. However, the only thing I can find about it seems to have been written by the guy trying to sell them. Has anyone here used these devices, and what was your experience with them? Are there any other alternatives I should be considering? (I realize that sticking with a tank unit or installing a generator are options)
Thanks,
Brian
