It cost a lot to keep the water in the hot water heater constantly heated. Even in Canada where the cost of electricity is much lower then in the U.S. (and it appears to be half that of Texas) the European style "on demand" heaters are becoming increasingly popular. They're half the size of convential heaters and don't turn on until you turn the water on - and will provide a constant supply of hot water for as long as you're running the water. Although they cost about 50% more then conventional heaters, they have 3 significant advantages.
1. Save electricity by heating water only when needed.
2. Provide unlimited amounts of hot water when needed.
3. Small enough to sit on a shelf and not use up floor space.
I feel almost unpatriotic suggesting these to the Americans. Export sales for electricity and oil are huge revenue for Canada. The more energy wasteful Americans are, the more money pours into Canada.
