So new home owner here. One of the water heaters just blew out and I'm hoping I could get some advice on what to replace with.
here's some pics for reference https://imgur.com/a/5cC4pqj
side question: can I just use one of the heaters while I use the time to figure out what to replace with? I think I would need to get a plumber out to disconnect in the mean time.
They are plumbed in parallel with a single gate valve. Should I place individual valves to each one?
Heat pumps? replace with a single larger tank? Tankless? Stay with gas or switch to electric?
I would love your expert advice. I have the luxury of time and patience, as my parents live down the street and we can use their showers. I'm not interested in going cheap, I can afford to put a quality, premium tank in the house.
we are a family of 4 w/ 2 small kids in a 3br/3ba house.
