You don't have to vent if you have a large enough space like 10' x 10'. It just needs to be able to pull in some amount of heat from the air without recycling the cold air it is exhausting.
I believe in their receipts it states that if you return any of the products they will deduct the discount from your return amount.

Side note, I have the 50 gallon one that I self installed almost a year ago and it's been great. My only suggestion is to upsize it from what you would normally have, i.e. if you currently have a 50 gallon, opt for the 65 gallon or 80 gallon to maximize your power savings as the recovery using the heat pump is much slower (especially in the winter here in the PNW due to cold water temp) than resistive heating. After 3 showers back to back expect a recovery time of 4-6 hours using just the HP.
The main topic of this post is not pertaining to tankless units.

It says "Buy 3 or more" and get a contractor discount. What if we buy the 3, and then return 2 of them? Would the discount still stick to the one you keep? Kind of like a "Hack" on power tools? Reps given for your thoughts.

If it's anything like Amazon it'll reduce the price so you'll save an extra 120-170. Personally I don't think dealing with the 2 extras are worth that savings but to each their own.

On the topic of the deal itself these are some pretty great prices. I don't think anyone is going to find these for under 1000 like they were a while back. I've got the 40 gallon one myself (almost a year now in So Fla) and it's been working great. Unit itself is a bit noisy but since it's in the garage I can't hear it at all.

The venting requirement for these is different than traditional gas water heaters, is that right?

Very important info here. Also important is if you have space/clearance for a larger unit.

These are meant to be used in unconditioned spaces, like a garage.

My A/C unit intake is near the waterheater. I am thinking of exhausting the colder air out of this thing to the A/C inlet. I suspect that will help in summer with sending cool air to the rest of the house. And in winter at least distrubute the cold air out of the area so water heater doesn't work as hard. Makes sense?

How does it work if you request installation on the website? Do you still get the sale pricing?

You should. They usually use a pool of local 3rd party installers for this type of thing. They would probably even help you do the local rebate as well.

How much money do you save a month with this vs your old talk?
