Seems like a waste of energy to have boiling water prepped 24/7
Like having dishwashers and washing machines that run off hot water? So 1980s 😂
Yeah in the US there's not a convenient way to turn your boiler down or off, nor would you want to because that's not really how they were designed. But I don't think that was the same in all countries-- I remember reading a book from a British guy who moved to the US and couldn't figure out how to turn his heater off before realizing he wasn't supposed to.
Plus now with the newer "tankless" models you don't have to keep water hot all day, just turn it on when you need it.
Tankless hot water on demand has been a thing in Europe since the 80s too
It's pretty sad how far behind the US has fallen without even realising it
