I know its a stupid fear, but I have never liked mixing water and electricity for hot water. Im "that guy" who works on things live quite often because "it will just take a minute". I could knock in my chimney instead of fixing the flashing to stop the leak if I switched to an electric water heater for about the same cost as the flashing work (when I flash, I flash things for life... and because the movie sucked, but thats a different topic). I just foresee our city water having dissolve the liner and me down there at three in the morning half drunk (well sh%^face) with my metal leatheman and no shoes dicking around with it in my boxers and then next thing you know, Imin the ER with some broad trying to shove a tube up my crank.
