The little guy has supplied all of the DHW needs for our two person household and, with that, consumed 412.3 kWh or an average of 1.87 kWh/day. That's down from an average of 3.96 kWh/day for this same period last year when we heated with electric resistance.</div>

We're relatively frugal in our hot water use, so the simple payback for us will be a little longer than most households, i.e., about ten years at current utility rates. Even so, I'm extremely pleased with its performance. We're now approaching that time of the year when we run our dehumidifier virtually non-stop to keep humidity levels in check, so to the extent that this HPWH reduces our dehumidifier run time, it will supply us with all the"free" hot water that we can possibly use.</div>

BTW, according to the City of Halifax's Solar City website, the typical installed cost for a solar DHW system in these parts runs between $6,400.00 and $8,000.00 after all applicable rebates (source: <a href="http://www.halifax.ca/solarcity/">www.halifax.ca/solarcity/</a>). And in speaking with one of their representatives, I'm told that I could expect such a system to offset perhaps one-half our annual needs. The Nyle, as mentioned, satisfies 100 per cent of our requirements at an installed cost of just $1,100.00. Moreover, it would likely consume less electricity through the course of the year than what might be required to operate the circulation pump, control system and back-up electric element of a residential solar system, had we chosen to go this alternate route. This is not meant to be knock against solar; rather, it's to point out that there are other options that are equally worthy of consideration.</div>
