Sure, if you don't use hot water for a few days. All the A series

It decreases time. It's a holding tank of hot water, why would it need to warm up? It's definitely a common thing. Several brands have them built in. Navien for one.

Not sure how a holding tank wouldn't be more efficient than flowing water all day.

It's very common.

The minute long water flow before water is hot, everytime water is turned on. Can't run hot water and 30 seconds later, run hot water and expect it's still hot. It'll just be the hot that’s in the pipes, then cold for a bit, then warm and then hot. Like when washing dishes or washing...

My previous house would run the floor water up to 130*. That's a common setting used around here. Now actual floor temp was maybe 90-100* It needs to be nearing 100* to feel "warm"

I can't think of anything I need to make automatic that a $10 timer can't do.

When I worked at Sears, i did tireson 3 4 post lifts with axle jacks. Or had 2 in floor old style 1 cylinder air lift. Just liwer car or hold tire with 1 hand and torque wrench with the other. Makes me wonder what happened to all that equipment. It was a shop for 50 or 60 years. Now an REI...

Sounds like it's a fancy neighborhood and a compressor wouldn't fit the part sitting outside. Could build a nice looking closet. Either way, most air tools will be louder than a decent quality compressor. Have a shed out back? I had mine in the shed and ran a 3/4" line to the garage, maybe...

There's a gel version, it work ok?

A decent commercial grade compressor isn't very loud either. Between that and it not running that often, it really an issue? Whatever air tools you're using will likely be louder.... I put mine in a conex as I needed air in there anyhow and it would have used a fair bit of space in the shop.

They don't to a gas analysis and dial in the burn?

Me... your laziness isn't going to impede my productivity. Don't like the compressor, tough ****. Put ear buds in if you want to rot your life away on the TV. Not like it's running 24x7, right?

I doubt mine was. It's 1250 sq ft on 3 loops. The pex is run with not much planning, least that I can figure. It's not even O2 barrier pex. It heats though. Got lucky I guess. (I bought it 10 years after built)

Tell them to shut off the TV and be productive with their time. Problem solved.
