I have a two-story house with a good, new water heater in the basement. On the first floor, we get hot water very quickly. Everything is great. On the second floor, it sometimes seems like it takes forever to get hot water. Once we get it, it's nice and hot (and stays hot).
I'm assuming that the problem is displacing the formerly hot water in the hot water pipes with new, hot water. The water does have to travel a lot farther to get to the upstairs bathrooms than it does to get to the kitchen. Would adding a second (tankless?) water heater upstairs fix this? Is there a better way to go about this?
