I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good electric hot water heater for a 1500 square foot house? I'm planning on keeping the house for at least 5 years so I'd like to buy a good one. I have the usual places to shop: Lowes, HD, Atlanta supply houses.
I had thought about going tankless but after reading here I think I'll wait If I try to go tankless, I'll end up researching myself to death and I'll be in December with cold water still!
I have 2 bathrooms and the master bathroom has a great walk-in shower with 2 shower heads (the second shower head moves and would be used only occasionally) and a great soaker tub with a built-in heater.
A friend on mine had read that the Whirlpools that Lowes sells have reliability issues (Thermocouple problems).
Because of where the utility room is located, I've had it wired for electric and I really can't go with gas.
It's also been suggested that I add a timer to the water heater so it cuts off at night? Comments?
Thanks for any suggestions!
