We need to replace our 40-gal electric WH. It shares a closet in the main floor bath with a washer & dryer. It was fine for two of us, but we added a basement bath last summer, and now have 7 people living here for the next two years or so.
I can put a larger water heater in the space, but I don't want to pay to heat extra water after they leave.
Would it be possible/advisable to put a second WH downstairs? The idea would be that the second WH would service the basement bath, but could be shut off when not needed. When off, the bath would be serviced by the main WH.
Any suggestions?
