Yes it was, and it was not the most efficient either. My only comparative data is my electric bill. Saw the bill drop from $475 to $300. Staying pretty consistent at that rate. Of course, during this time, my wife was pregnant, and taking baths every day. And the two kids still take baths as well. (no, despite my asking, they still tend to take separate baths) Then there's the laundry as well. Bottom line is we use a butt-load of hot water.

EDIT - I just reviewed my electric bill over the past year, and the savings of the demand water heater seem to be more on the order of ~$60/month
