    No idea what rebate that is since I’m not American, but we did have rebates then as well. Still wasn’t worth it. Yes it was about 6-7 years ago.

      I just got one here in the states, installed it myself to save money. Total was about $2.2k for 65 gallons, I’ll get $1k from the utility company as a rebate and tax credit (don’t know what this means to be honest), that plus more than halving my electric consumption to heat up water will pay off really quick.

        That’s worth it then. I wouldn’t not push that. I was seeing bills of 5-8k for these things. With a 900-1.5k rebate

          Where have you seen prices like that for residential? I haven’t seen anything over 3k, even on 80 gallon ones.
