Hi Everyone, thanks in advance for your help.
I'm remodeling my laundry room and have decided to replace my electric water heater as part of the project. I'm deciding between gas tankless and a heat pump electric. I have two quotes for each in hand. Here are the details:
Navien NPE-210A $3,350 installed
Airgenerate ATI-66 $1,900 installed
Above pricing is after all rebates, tax credits, etc.
Using this site
https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/...cy-storage-demand-and-heat-pump-water-heaters
I calculated my expected annual operating costs (Portland, Oregon) as follows:
Gas: $158
Electric: $221
Thats a 21.5 year payback on the extra cost for the gas.
What do you all think, are these numbers legit? I would prefer the gas option due to unlimited hot water, lower footprint, etc. Also have a little fear of the heat pump since they are new technology. But was hoping for a much better cost comparison between the two...gas option sure is pricey...
Appreciate your input!
