Just bought a house. I noticed downstairs we have one of those domestic hot water circulation units. It works great and everything but it seems to me this thing would likely use a ton of energy. It's running the motor non stop apparently and it makes me think the water would cool as it runs through the pipes so by the time it gets back to the water heater it would have to be reheated again, thereby using more gas. Am I way off base here? Water is much cheaper to waste a bit waiting for the water to warm up than gas.
Bonus question. I want to hook up an OTA antenna in the attic and route it to the main panel in the basement that splits off to the coax wall inputs throughout the house. Is this even possible, or is the signal degradation going to kill this? I rented a basement apartment from a house that's only a couple miles away and I think they must have been setup like this because we just got OTA channels but plugged into the coax input on the wall and it was all crystal clear. Any recommendations on an antenna to buy or is it better to build one?
