I am in the process of designing a custom 3632 sq ft home that will have 2.5 baths.
- powder bath = sink and toilet
- Bath #2 = shower, rain shower head, toilet and sink
- Master bath = 110 gal roman tub, two sinks, toilet and large shower with rain shower head, two wall heads and 1 set body sprays.
I am currently specing 1-50 gal water heater that will serve the powder room, the kitchen, the laundry room and bar sink.
The 2nd heater will be an 80 gallon that will only serve the master bath and bath #2.
I am wondering if two tank heaters are really necessary? We have configured it this way since the house is 132 ft long and the master bdrm is at one end and the laundry, kitchen and powder at the other. We wanted to make sure we had a hot water source capable of filling the tub and/or not have to wait for 8 minutes before hot water got to our master bath shower.
Does this configuration make sense?
Would it be better to have 1 large tank heater to serve the entire home instead?
Maybe something larger than 80 gallon?
What about some kind of recirculating system to expedite getting hot water to the furthest parts of the home?
I appreciate any help that can be offered!
