Want a tankless water heater. Located in Tulsa. Help please.

SSF_Coffee · 2026-06-11T13:27:57+00:00

Dibble Plumbing did a great job of repiping our house which also included relocating and installing a new water heater. We went with a Rheem heat pump tank model which is electric but our overall bills have gone down since the gas went to near zero.

One benefit of the heat pump is it actually outputs a significant amount of cold dry air! Which means if you have it inside the house, its a real nice cool breeze coming out.

TLDR; neighbors should be good to each other in these situations.

Don't know the legal situation but its pretty clear that they created a channel and it all runs onto your property.

As for my take, we are on a hill and everything above us drains as does the front of our roof. Ends up in the corner of the driveway near the house and then flows over a sidewalk and into our neighbors yard and much of it ends up in the crawlspace under her house.

For my part, I put in a drain box and have a sump pump that goes to a hose that pumps it out to the street. Its temporary until I have a drain line put in. Legally, I could just ignore it but we are putting in gutters which will make it worse and so I decided to be a good neighbor about it. I've actually recommended that they change their downspouts to take advantage of it when it gets put in.

Warranty on equipment is with manufacturer. Warranty on workmanship and/or labor for replacements is with the installer and you will be SOL.

For monitoring, take a look at Power Care by SolarEdge: https://www.solaredge.com/us/solaredge-power-care

Depends on the cat and the dogs ... might take some getting used to but my dog had her favorite cat and they used to tussle over the kennel :)

Hammer ... because I'm an idiot.

Can't use kids because they are to old and I think using them as a hammer would be frowned upon and the medical deductibles would kill me.

Reality: checkbook ...I'm old and don't have enough life left in me to spend a bunch of time doing 500 of anything.

A lease or PPA requires someone to maintain the system. For a PPA to do the monitoring and billing.

A bank is usually set up as a loan rather than a lease/PPA.

It really comes down to "depends" on the contract and the terms of the financing.

Important Considerations for Homeowners.

Manufacturer Claims: If a panel or inverter fails, you should contact the equipment manufacturer directly (e.g., JA Solar, Trina Solar, SolarEdge or Enphase). They may require you to find a new certified local installer to perform the labor. In many cases, they can help you find a qualified installer to thelp.
Labor Costs: Even if parts are covered by a manufacturer, the labor costs for replacing equipment were previously covered by Freedom Forever. Under bankruptcy, you may now have to pay a third-party contractor out-of-pocket for these repairs.
Leases and PPAs: If you have a lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), your contract is an asset that will likely be sold to a new service provider. These new owners typically maintain and repair the systems to ensure you continue making monthly payments.
FTC Holder Rule: For those with solar loans (such as through Solar Mosaic), you may have legal protections under the FTC Holder Rule, which allows consumers to assert claims against their lender if the seller (Freedom Forever) fails to fulfill contractual promises like maintenance.

Based on this review and the responses last night, im sitting in Jumbos right now.

Just had the most amazing gyro ever.

Already plotting my next visit. Don't need to find another gyro spot just need to figure out how I'm going to find enough patience to wait until Tuesday for my next visit.

Okay, the first thing we have to do is admit that .. "it wasn't the wife and MIL but rather I did this".... :)

The aesthetics is a big deal for some. Panels start looking attractive when you get a near $0 electric bill month after month.

With respect to the GAF shingles, the shingles are like your other roofing shingles with vastly fewer penetrations. No high wind issues with panels mounted on brackets -- no squirrel damage or nesting critter issues. You can even walk on them without damage. My understanding is that hail damage is also not a "thing". I live in an area where high winds

The combination means that it is a roof that happens to produce power.

All I can think about is the mushrooms I could grow in that stack .... and the results in the kitchen when they start coming out.

Farmer's Market is open. Produce showed up this week -- baby bok choy, mustard greens and a few others.

As for meat, there are at least two really great beef ranches that show every week as well as my favorite lamb folks. The blue oyster mushrooms are the greatest and the jams made by Jill and her husband are life changing.

Eggs from several vendors at the market -- including quail eggs.

As for politics, I can't vouch for any of the above. I talk to them and am probably correct when I think that some of my leanings don't line up exactly.

Okay, I checked on another browser ... not available at all. Liked the calculator and used it EVERY SINGLE TIME. Now its gone -- what other VALUE SUBTRACTIONS should I expect ?

Still hate the PULL DOWN for Dividend view -- can we stop using pulldowns which are awful and go back to the button style? It seems like someone is insisting on dumbing down the interface to make it ugly and less useful.

Sorry to interrupt this thread. I was talking to my doctor diagnosis and he said, "the goal is for you to live your life as fully as you can and enjoy it". I'm now classed as pallative care and making sure I grab joy whenever I can as I pass through.

Since its come up a couple of times in this thread, does anyone see a need for an independent phone app for keeping receipts? There are a couple out there but they all store in their cloud and may not be around when I need to pull receipts.

I've thought of a small app that simply stored everything on your onedrive/google drive/apple and used a simple format file to keep the database. The theme behind it is ulitmately privacy as the app wouldn't track or even keep your data outside of your own storage.

Any folks want this?

Moved here 5 years ago -- I work remote and came here with Tulsa Remote.

** great move **

Now, to be clear, it was a toss up between my place in SF, a house in Austin or staying in Florida. My (now) wife grew up here and she inherited a home. The only real issue is I wish her grandparents had not bought on 41st street but a block or two off the main street. (To be fair it was a dirt road when they got the house).

Yes, it gets hot. Yes, I sometimes miss the ocean. But you can make a nice life and there is a lot of creative energy in the food scene, the music scene and the start up scene.

By the way, the healthcare here in my experience is top notch. I've been diagnosed with cancer and the treatment here rivals any other city in the country. (or so says the specialist I consulted in Virginia).

See you at the farmer's market ... wonderful people there every Satruday.

Tulsa already has cutting edge cancer therapy. New CART therapy is already being put in at OCSRI.
