We're considering a 160 gal tub in our re model. Sizing the remainder of our small 2 person house, a 40 gal would do without the tub. We're all electric. I live in the tropics of South Louisiana
I'm got 3 ideas.
1. Buy a 100 gal heater and pay the bill.
2. Buy a hybrid/ heat pump water heater. Do you put these in a hot attic? I've read you need 1,000 sq feet of attic air which I have. One site read hot attic air while another made it seem like the heat pump needs cooler air. Confused on this
3. Get a 40 and a 100. Only turn the 100 on 1 hour before tub use. Would this be smart if we used the tub once a day?
Thanks!
