We live in an apartment. The water heater in the kitchen used to feed the kitchen sink, the dishwasher, and 2 bathrooms. Now it just serves the kitchen sink and dishwasher. It's time to replace the heater.
The dishwasher is about 10 years old, so it conserves at least some water; it doesn't have an internal water heater. We wash pots and pans by hand, sometimes just before turning on the dishwasher.
How big should the new heater be?
Also, I'm leaning towards a 220V unit. Am I right in thinking that results in faster heating and essentially the same electricity cost?
Thanks in advance.
