The following information will help you determine which hot water heater is best suited for your home.
Hot Water Heater Sizes
Hot water heaters come in three basic sizes: 30-, 40-, or 50-gallon capacity. The nameplate on your water heater will tell you the capacity. When you need to replace your water heater, it’s best to select a new one with the same capacity as the old one unless you’ve added a dishwasher, washing machine, or bathroom, or plan to do so in the near future.
A good way to determine your hot water needs is to count the number of bathrooms in your home. For one bathroom homes, a 30 or 40 gallon unit is adequate. For homes with one and a half baths, a 40 gallon tank should be the minimum size. For homes with two or more bathrooms, you should select at least a 50 gallon unit.
Gas vs. Electric Hot Water Heaters
The type of fuel used to power a hot water heater can have a big impact on the unit’s capacity. A water heater’s capacity depends on two factors: its total storage and how quickly it can heat a full tank of water (recovery time). Gas and electric water heaters are rated based on the number of gallons they can heat to 90 degrees F in one hour.
Gas water heaters warm up more quickly than most electric models. If you plan to buy an electric system, it should be larger than its gas counterpart. Residential electric hot water heaters can be purchased with capacities as large as 100 gallons or more.
