Hello,

I bought a newly built house 3 years ago. At that time, I asked the
builder why it took so long, 3-4 minutes, before hot water came out of
the faucets when you first turned them on. He said that was the
standard wait.

I'm annoyed now that I have to wait so long for the hot water to come
out. The temperature of the water is fine and I have no problems with
running out of hot water. I want to know if there is something I can
install/replace to make the hot water get to the faucet quicker, in 1
minute instead of 5 minutes. And I have this wait with all of my
faucets, kitchen, shower and bathrooms.

Thanks for your assistance!

Plumbing is not my area, but it sounds like you do not have a hot water
loop. A hot water loop is when you run a pipe from the farthest point in the
house back to the hot water heater. It's a lot easier to have this pipe
installed when the house is currently under construction. As to what you can
do about putting one in, I myself would have to call a plumber.
