banned by whom? are you in a upper floor condo?
No, single family home. The HVAC guy didn’t explain who or what banned them. He just said they were not allowed to install anything bigger than 50 gallon.
Home Depot still sells 80 gallon electric water heaters.
It was the first time I’ve heard of this, so I don’t have any details. Our local utility (Avista, the old Washington Water Power) announced 100% “green” energy by 2045 and is doing everything they can to get people OFF of electricity.
