HOW MUCH HOT WATER DOES YOUR FAMILY NEED?
Before taking any decisions on hot water supplies, budget-minded homeowners need to work out their water heater installation cost. And to do so, they must calculate exactly how much hot water their families need, and when. Here are a few examples, to help you draw up your family water usage chart, shown in gallons (total), and gallons per minute (gpm):
Shaving
2 gallons (less, if you switch off the tap when not rinsing)
Shower or bath:
20 gallons, with a flow rate between 1.5 and 2.5 gpm
Tankless shower:
20 gallons, with a flow rate between 1.5 and 2.5 gpm
Dish washer:
14 gallons, with a flow rate between 1.0 and 2.5 gpm
Washing machine
30 to 40 gallons, with a flow rate between 1.5 and 3.0 gpm
14 GALLONS, WITH A FLOW RATE BETWEEN 1.0 AND 2.5 GPM
This is when you need to know the First Hour Rating (FHR) of your appliance, as this affects the heater recovery time. The higher the FHR, the quicker a unit can heat up all its water. So this rating tells you how many gallons of hot water your tank can supply in an hour.
In most families, mornings are the busiest times, as families scurry to get ready for school and work. Providing enough hot water for three showers, a 40-gallon tank is fine for a small family. Careful planning is needed, in order to make sure that non-personal uses (like washing clothes and dishes) are scheduled for off-peak periods during the day or when everyone is asleep.
COST-EFFECTIVE HYBRID WATER HEATER INSTALLATION
Our team is one of the most preferred tankless water heater company in the area, and our reviews speak for themselves. Some of the things that affect tankless water heater repair costs include the specific part that needs to be replaced or repaired. Some parts are much more expensive than others. They tend to also require more labor. Another factor that will affect the cost is whether or not your tankless unit is covered by the warranty.
Running on gas or electricity, these energy-efficient appliances heat unlimited amounts of water, but only on demand. This means that you pay just for heating water that is used immediately, instead of keeping an entire tankful hot and ready for use, right around the clock. Compact and wall-mounted, they offer many advantages, particularly flexibility of use, with low monthly costs and a useful life that can extend over two decades or even more.
