   $6K??? Where di you get that idea? Try a Rinnai unit. Available for a   
   dealer, online in Buffalo area for under $1K with vent kit and the   
   maintenance valves. I can supply his contact info. I have dealt with him a   
   few times and he is excellent and if in Canada he has ways.   
      
      
   Do you have a phone line to this property, off season? With a few dollars   
   and two parts you can have a dial-up temp monitor for the place.

   I've seen several web enabled thermostats that I am reviewing but was   
   wondering if anybody knows if there might be a gas hotwater heater that can   
   be controlled in the same manner. The house is a vacation home I rent out in   
   the summer and winter. In the weeks/months when the house is not occuppied   
   I'd like to set to maintain a minimum temperature. In the winter time I'd   
   like to keep maximum temperature so maximum number of people can take   
   showers before the hotwater runs out.   
   Ideally a tankless hotwater system would do the trick but at $6000 it is too   
   expensive.   
   Any ideas?
