[QUOTE="Schlafftablett, post: 3993658, member: 47874"] Having visited SF numerous times (my ex-brother in law lives there), I can tell you it’s not going to be a huge deal. Many of the smaller homes and newer stuff have transitioned to on demand water heaters already. As far as the heaters, the weather there is so mild he only runs his heater maybe a month or so of the year and the coldest it gets is mid-high 40’s. With decent insulation, most houses can easily get away with one or two split units that don’t really even run that much. Hell, he doesn’t even have air-conditioning. He has a swamp cooler that he doesn’t even really use. Just opens the windows and lets the breeze come through. The problem is going to come when the rest of the state wants to follow the model and the folks inland who have more of a desert climate crash the entire grid. [/QUOTE]
