Tankless hot water system - gas. The igniter is electric. Could I go upstairs in my attic and plug an extension cord from the igniter to my generator for hot water this morning? Yes. But I have enough cords already ran through my house as it is right now.

Cold shower it is. I've heard it's actually better for you anyways. At least that is what I am telling myself.

Not sure if I feel like putting the trash can by the street.



ETA --- UPDATE --- CRISIS AVERTED -- Decided to put it out and it was picked up 20 min later.



St George is awesome

Why would you get an electric water heater?

It's gas. However, the igniter is electric. At least that is my understanding.

As well as the controller/thermostat. I’m not sure of a way to make it work with our power. We have one and had to run an extension cord to the attic to get it working after Laura and Delta.

This makes sense.

I don't get the sense that I will be without power for too long, and for the time that I am, I can deal with this inconvenience.

Some counties use solar water tank, rendering hot water with or without electricity.

Would qualify as a tankless job.

Took cold showers after Gustav. Never got used to it. Like that shock when you jump into a cold pool but didn't go away.
