[Shop-talk] water heating installation

[Steven Trovato]

How did you come up with that size?  From what I have read, gas 
heaters are typically smaller than electric because they recover 
quicker.  For example, 
https://www.totalhomesupply.com/water-heater-sizes says if your 
family size is 5 or more, you'll need an 80-gallon tank (electric) or 
a 50-gallon tank (natural gas or liquid propane).    As you said, I 
don't know how much the price would change with a smaller 
heater.  Also, I assume you have considered the tankless option.
