Comparing Gridless's own models
Among Gridless's 2 certified electric water heaters, this is the priciest to run, $72/year over the AYHW50G, the brand's cheapest.
Cost over its typical lifespan
11 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $233/year, the Gridless AYHW80G adds up to about $2,564 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The Gridless AYHW80G runs above its category average. If the electric water heater you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $233/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
The Gridless AYHW80G already costs $233/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
