Hello All!
We are a family of 6 with a 50 gallon gas water heater, kids showers & baths used to be primarily @ night, but the kids are getting older and they're now more in the mornings. 6 people trying to shower one after the other every morning...you're getting the picture!
What would be our best/most economical solution to this? A larger water heater, an additional water heater, on demand water heater, some combination???
Of course we're looking for the most economical solution both initially, and operating cost-wise. Also, our current water heater is housed in a somewhat smallish closet in our unheated attached garage (we live in NW AR) if that makes any difference.
Please include brand/model in recommendations if possible. Your help is very appreciated, Thanks in advance!
