Did you have to rewire for 60 amp service to the water heater?

Speaking of which, I bought some CF bulbs to fill in where I don't have any. These are the kind that look like normal bulbs where you can't see the circular tube. They seem to take a while to light up........is that normal?. Eventually they become as bright as the incandescent but it takes sometimes nearly a minute before they reach full brightness. What say ye?

JF, > I just put in one of those tankless water heaters... cost me $1400 and saves me ~$30 a month. Isn't it also better for those times you really want more hot water than what a tank can provide? I'm fortunate to live in a very modern house that can stay cool during the summer and warm during the (relatively cold) winter. I also let the power company put in a remote-controlled limiter on my central air conditioner so that they can throttle it during periods of peak demand. Was torture for my wife and I during one hot day last year, but that's our fault for becoming so soft. Tenchusatsu
