Sounds like a poorly located/thought out hot water system unfortunately. New construction?


It's a 1960ish house that they're updating. 4700 sq. ft ranch with everything really spaced out. Father in law hates the damn place, but his wife loves it so he's trying to keep her happy. The guy that put in their tankless is their old plumber and not sure if he thought it all the way through with the kitchen and guest bath so far from the main heater.

Put in a second smaller tankless for the kitchen and guest bath.

I would just add a second tankless. Most of the times I have seen people replace a tank with a tankless they have had to add two.
Unless the plumbing was designed with the tankless in mind.


I have a god candidate house for tankless. My HW line forks to the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. then goes up and hits the laundryroom and the two bathrooms so the run is very very short as the tank is centrally located between them. If your house is large or wet rooms aren't central in the house, then you should just get a second tankless.
