I finally finished a huge bottle of MaryRuth's liquid vitamins - (I struggled to get through it due to the taste, lol) Has anyone used Force Factor? Any other brand recommendations? I prefer to get all-in-one/one-a-day supplements. Thanks!
We live in FL, just north of Tampa. We bought the house in 2021. It was built in 2005. We're thinking of replacing our 50 gal electric hot water heater with a heat pump water heater. I believe it's the original water heater installed by the builder in 2005. It's located in our garage.
I need advice on brands. I've already eliminated AO Smith based on my research. I'd like one with technology, app, smart home integration, etc. (I'm not looking for low-end, budget and I want it professionally installed)
Our situation: We've made every thing in our house energy efficient except the water heater and a low-end HVAC (installed by previous owner in about 2020). We added Tesla solar panels and 2 Tesla PowerWalls which are installed in the garage. We can see on the Tesla app a large jump in kW usage when the water heater kicks on. (Hard water isn't an issue as we installed a water softener and whole house filtration)
I like the idea of a heat pump because it discharges cold air into the garage which would be perfect for cooling the garage in the summer and it would be beneficial to the PowerWalls too.
I read that to replace a 50 gal WH with a HP that we should get an 80 gal. with a mixing valve. My husband says we need to downsize it from 50 gal, which I won't agree to as I know we would regret it. We've argued about it. I'm the one who did all the research on it. I know we're 2 people but I never want to run out of hot water, especially if several things are using it at once or we have family over or the sun isn't out. We run our appliances during the day when it's sunny so everything is powered by the sun.
Sorry this was long, but I'd appreciate any advice from pros and homeowners who've converted their WH. Thanks!
