I know people keep asking this but how about in my specific planned use?
I am planning a mother-in-law type cottage which will be connected to the main house. Think of it like an addition which is what a future buyer could use it for. The planned use is to have a bathroom and a kitchen sink but no cooking. The person living there could eat in the main house.
I am thinking of a tankless water heater because the hot water usage will be low. Why heat 50 gallons of water that might not be used much?
I thought that tankless water heaters are good for little hot water usage and a lot of usage (where the tank wouldn't have time to heat up). If intermediate usage, then a tank water heater is better. Is my logic flawed?
