So my water heater is 16 years old and I thought I'd replace it rather than clean up the mess it makes in the next year or two and then replace it. In Washington (Oregon and Kalifornya as well) you can't buy one unless it has a "Demand Response" device connected to it so that the PUD? Local Govt.? Somebody anyway, can shut it off if they deem the power grid having too much demand on it. All it does for me is cost me about $300 bucks more for the same water heater I want in a "WA Approved" model. When does it stop?
I'm thinking that we'll just take an RV trip here soon and swing through a state that doesn't require DR and pick one up and bring it home. I'm going to install it myself anyway.
