Restrictive covenants are not considered illegal, but restrictions that are particularly exacting have been found to limit the ability of an individual to do business. In these cases, some courts have found a specific restrictive covenant agreement not to be valid. That is, the court in question would not hear the case.
1 Because tankless water heaters require a 220V/240V electrical outlet or larger gas pipes than found in an average home plus a stainless steel ventilation system, installation can add $1,000-$3,000 or more, bringing total costs to $1,800-$4,500. A central tankless water heater providing hot water for an entire house can cost $800-$3,000 or more, depending on gpm capacity and whether it's gas or electric, plus features like a safety temperature lock or a remote control.
The DOE computes average annual operating costs of $388 for a storage-tank heater, and $272 for a tankless heater. That's $116 less. If the tankless system costs $2,200 installed, and saves $116 a year, it would take about 19 years to break even on the investment.ost homes have a storage tank for hot water â 50 gallons or more that's regularly reheated and ready to use 24 hours a day. The compact alternative, often billed as the more efficient European system, is a tankless, or on-demand water heater.
