So, you don't have a tankless system presently?

The natural gas heater in my house is about 15 years old now. It has been dependable the past few years I've owned the house, but I will probably replace it soon anyway. I was thinking of getting a tankless unit since the house is small but the gas bill is $350/month in the winter. Since fixing a leaky faucet, my water bill is about $80/quarter.

I have had fantasies about getting a solar panel install connected to the grid. I'm not made of money, but maybe I will check out a home show in the area before doing anything. The vendors typically know all kinds of incentives available on stuff like that.
