I currently have a 40 gallon Rheem hot water tank that needs replaced asap. I am trying to decide if a tankless water heater would be good for me.
My home is a typical split entry (two and a half baths) and is all electric. There are currently 3 people living here but could be four if my daughter moves home. We have 2 showers and a tub (bathrooms are back to back and are almost directly above the hot water tank. The hot water tank is in the laundry room (below the kitchen). The hot water pressure is very low going into the washer so it takes a while to fill. The kitchen is next to the bathrooms and I do have a dishwasher (newer Bosch).
Never are two people taking showers at the same time but my son does take long showers. We live in Pittsburgh, PA so it does get cold.
I would love to save money, be more environmentally friendly and have a less cluttered laundry room, but I don't like waiting more than a few seconds for hot water to start. Would a tankless be a wise choice for me and, if so, what specifically should I look for? If not, I would probably be considering a Rheem tank. Thanks in advance.
