[Greenbuilding] Experiences with Seisco

[Keith Winston]

I've never heard of them before. That's not a great sign, I'm fairly 
deep into this industry. They are an electric resistance on-demand water 
heater. I don't have time to see if they have any particularly redeeming 
features, but all electric resistance on-demand water heaters and near 
100% efficient (somewhere in the 90's) so I don't know what they are 
claiming. You can see the Stiebel-Eltron units, and I think some other 
electric units, at

houseneeds.com

They've got manuals, specs, etc. readily accessible there, too. Good luck.

I like a lot of what I read on the Seisco site.... but suspect that there's a back story.  Anyone have any experience with these and any wisdom for me on whether I should be switching from the Rinnai tankless concept?
