That's a good 'blanket statement' but with today's cost of energy it is
probably best to size to the home and family needs. In a small house, 2BR

initial purchase and in long term use.

I need to replace my 30 gal. gas hot water tank. When I go for the new

it be transported upright?

Just curious and thanks.

on side gently is fine. I would get a larger tank, its nice to have
more hot water and is a polus at home resale time.

I HAD a 30 gallon once, it was always running out of hot water- Hide quoted text -

A small house, 2BR with one bath could easily mean 2 adults and 4
kids, all needing showers in the morning and ton of laundry. Been
there, done that.

The size of the house has a whole lot less to do with the sizing of
the HWH than the usage requirements do.
