Will be interesting to see how it holds up over the long run but for now this was definitely the most economical solution to the hot water issue. No idea if it will significantly up the gas bill for hot water heater .
Let us know. I would think with copper pipe, it would increase the bill. With PVC, I'm not sure. But water does eventually get cold in PVC pipe, but no where near as quick as copper.
