Hmm. Until you can get it in Lowe's or Home Depot, I still might call it an "oddity". :) Maybe we should do a test: any blog readers that have an on-demand gas water heater in their house, sound off. For reference, this month we averaged 111 views per day, so put that against the number of people that answer affirmatively. Maybe that's not an accurate survey, since some don't read the comments. I guess we'll see.

Having said that, though, it's great to see a mainstream, respectable company like GE making them. I checked out the link, and those are totally sweet (while wearing my Architect hat as well as my Environmentalist hat). I must buy one. Can I use your employee discount?
