Same day. Same homeowner standing there blinking.</p> <p>It’s not <em>price gouging by default</em> (sometimes it is, sure). It’s usually scope.</p> <p>Tankless isn’t just “a nicer water heater.” It’s often “a nicer water heater + whatever your house has been getting away with for the last 25 years.”</p>
