How many gallons is the tank? How many and how long are the showers or baths? A standard tub will pretty much use up the hot water from a 40 gal tank. The recovery time may be longer for electric as opposed to gas? A hot water leak will cause a little or no hot water issue as well as a large utility bill. How often does it cycle on? Ive seen plumbers install the supply lines backwards, an easy thing to check.
12 gallon tank. There's only a shower in the unit.
I don't really know his showering habits, just what he tells me.
Haha, agreed. That is not nearly enough. I recently had a job where the customer was waiting for his gas meter to be installed and had been waiting for 4 mo.! He purchased a temporary 20 gal electric tank for A shower. He and his wife and 2 small toddlers. He said it was enough for 1 shower and had to wait after his wife took hers. You need at a minimum, 30 gallons!!
