It pulled SO MUCH POWER that the lights would dim when it went on. Also, the flow was very low in comparison. Low flow I could live with, but the power draw scared me.

In fact, during the winter, the water coming in from the ground is near freezing, and it takes far more energy to heat it up than it does in the summer (obviously). This almost negates the advantages. The only advantage I've seen is that our heater is 25 years old and still going. On the other hand, if we want to upgrade, they've changed building codes, so we'd have to reroute the plumbing and move it to an outer wall of the basement. In the winter, the walls will be colder, which causes the heater to work harder. We have a tankless water heater, and it’s not really that much different.
