Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

I would have preferred a basic LP gas water heater but I didn't have a way to vent it unless I went with an expensive high efficient model. what sold me on getting the heat pump water heater was that it also acted as a de-humidifier and the basement, where the water heater is located, is no longer damp or musty smelling as it used to be. It's surprising how much condensate water the heat pump will produce during the hot, humid days in summer.
