Plumbing Tip #39: How do you determine the capacity of your electric water heater?

You have to consider the storage and recovery time, which is how quickly it can heat a tank full of water. Before you get a water heater, it is important to ensure that it matches your family’s needs. A family’s needs can be measured by the number of bathrooms in the house, unless you have an exceptionally large bathtub. A one bath house should have a 30 to gallons tank, while a two bath house should go for a 66 to 80 gallon electric water tank. Residential electric water heaters range in sizes from 6 to 120 gallons capacity. Electric water heaters require no minimum clearance and can be placed anywhere and require no fuel line and there is no pilot light to worry about.
