It’s unfortunate that people got out of the habit of using clotheslines. They save so much energy, and it is kind of peaceful to hang the clothes.

Rainy days and winter make outdoor drying difficult, but people can air dry their clothes by using a indoor clothes drying rack like this one. Being round it works really nice under a ceiling fan!

Comment on Can tankless water heater be installed in crawl space? by Letmikefixit!

An “on demand” water heater may be, and to minimize installation expense, should be installed at the location of the existing tank type water heater. This presumes that the voltage requirements of both are the same.

Unless it is adequately insulated, the tank type heater installed in the crawl space is bleeding energy (money) year round, much more in the cooler months. The on demand type only uses energy when the hot water faucet is opened, and never uses any energy to keep water heated until use. Initial cost is greater than tank type, but that is recovered over time.

With either type water heater, you will conserve energy by insulating all water pipes in the crawl space.

Take a new plumbing rout to a small closet, then put it in their. Being under your house like that seems on safe.

Yes, as long as you can have adequate ventilation. You didn’t say whether the tankless would be gas or electric.

We live in central west Michigan and had a tankless water heater for 12 years in our unfinished basement before we moved from that house. It was awesome, especially since we have four boys (with all the laundry and showers and baths and dishes!). Think unlimited hot showers for everybody!

The only difficulty we had with the unit was it occasionally needed to be manually restarted, but that was very easily done.

Electric tankless water heaters aren’t worth the money. They give inconsistent heat, and you will have problems with mineral deposits.
The plumbing supply house I use won’t even sell them because of the problems.
Gas heaters work much better, but still have the mineral deposit problems.
