Help! Multiple hot water problems.
1. I need some advice on what can be done to fix when taking a shower and someone else in the house turns on a water faucet on hot and the shower water goes cold and when someone flushes the toilet you get burned.
2. It takes a few minutes to get hot water flowing to the kitchen and laundry room side of the house.
I currently have a 7 year old 1 story 2500sq ft home with 2 full bathrooms, dishwasher and clothes washer for 4 in my family. The kitchen and laundry room are on opposite ends of the house from the bathrooms. The 40 gallon gas hot water heater is in the attic above the hall bathroom. Copper piping is used in this throughout house. Attic is very big with lots of room.
I would like to know what the very best setup for my house is. I plan on doing whatever you pro’s here recommend.
Do I need bigger water heater?
2 water heaters?
Recalculating pumps?
Tankless?
Thanks for any advice you can give me!
