Problem with them is, if you have a power failure, you have no hot water.

Good point, I had better keep the gennie fuelled up :)

It's not a big issue. We've had ours for about 10 years now. I could count the number of power failures we have had in that time on one hand.

We've had power failures a couple of times when we are getting ready for work in the morning. I've fired up the son's generator that he uses for his power tools, worked a treat.

We've had our Rinnai for about 18 months, and we've never had an issue with unit not working for any reason.

I have thought about power outages, though. Our gennie lives in the same area as the HWS.......just where it is, not planning.

Is there any reason an inverter wouldn't do the job?
