Okay, this is just tooooooooo cool! I want one! It is called a tankless water heater, or point-of-use heater. Basically, it heats the water on demand, so you don't have to heat a big ole water heater-full of water--you heat it as you need it! Check it out:

Just wanted to give you a "heads up"...Tankless water heaters are great, but you are not spending alot of money heating up your tank type water heater. They usually only "cycle" on for a few minutes for a few times a day. The amount of natural gas that the tankless water heaters burn to heat water on demand is alot more than your tank type water heater is burning. They are space saving, and efficient. They are also expensive to install for reasons I have posted to my blog. Just wanted you to know that you will burn as much or more fuel with the tankless. Tankless manufacturers don't tell consumers about that. Both types of water heaters are good. Tankless probably are the wave of the future, but they are still very expensive to install in comparison. That fuel bill might go up with the tankless. FYI :)

Thank you for the info! Wow! We are 100% electric right now (ouch), so I don't know if that makes a difference or not...
We greatly appreciate your post--we want our readers to make informed decisions, and now we are going to weigh the pros and cons as well....cost was the only factor we had in the "cons" column, but we thought we would quickly recoup that with savings on our electric bill (we have a large home with 2 water heaters).
