Default How to size water heater(s) in new home.

wrote on 09 Feb 2006:

How large should I make each water heater. Should I have a
separate additional heater for that huge tub and only turn it on
when needed?


You've left out some of the most critical data.

1) Gas or electric heaters? Gas will recover much more rapidly and
can often be sized smaller.

2) How many in the family, and who are they? Small family, smaller
size. Large family with teenage boys, bigger is better.
