I have a 3500 watt Predator inverter. It runs VERY quite, and is wicked efficient. I needed an inverter model because my natural gas burner on my furnace is like a little computer and needs a really clean energy supply.

It runs my tv, computer, lights, furnace, and sump pumps with ease. Everything needed while we wait for power to return.

I got mine in 2018, and the battery lasted about two years, it looked like some super cheap thing. Last week I started it up, something I do everything three months to put an electrical load on it, and the display wouldn’t show the voltage but it did show “0” and a icon that it was running normal.

I’m happy with it. I bought the Honda model it’s compared to and that broke a valve rod after 12 hours of use.

This is a great deal if you don’t have one.

I picked up an AO Smith heat pump water heater maybe 5 years ago from Lowes. At the time I worked with plumbers who all said it was the way to go, efficient and a better overall deal rather than on demand. The NHSaves program gave me a $500 or $600 dollar rebate, which made the choice much easier. May be worth looking into.
