Converting from tank to tankless water heater
quote:
Do you have natural gas in the house as well?
I've been thinking about this as well. I currently have (2) - 50 gallon gas water heaters and the demand for constant hot water is now at a premium in my house (as my girls have aged).
Both of my tanks (Rheem) are right at 9 years old.
I have contemplated changing out both tanks to 80 gallons or ... moving to gas tankless water heater.
Thoughts?

Replace annode rods ($15 parts) when they have 6" of exposed center rod and the tanks will last for practically ever, especially with annual flushes.
Install some niagara 1.5 GPM shower heads in every shower. They carry a LOT of punch and your daughters will not complain about pressure and will be able to take as long of showers as they want w/out running out of hot water.

This is the unit I have (gas).
If installed correctly, never! I have taken a shower, washed a load of clothes and washed a load of dishes simultaneously, and did not run out of hot water.
Does not matter! Water is only heated when called for. When not in use, the unit is off.

how long should I be getting hot water until it starts to run cold?

Also assume nobody has been home all day using any hot water.
