[Shop-talk] water heating installation

[Pat Horne]

Around here (Texas) they install 70-75 gallon gas heaters if you have a jacuzzi tub. Most 2-3 bath homes get 40 gallon.

 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.
