Sizing the heater to your household
Choosing a water heater is about more than capacity. Household size, how much hot water is used at the same time and the space available all matter. Considering them up front helps you avoid overspending on a system that is larger than needed or struggling with one that cannot keep up with demand.
Think about the busiest hour of a typical day, such as several showers back to back with a dishwasher running. That peak, rather than the daily total, is what a tank’s capacity or a tankless unit’s output needs to handle.
