What Size Water Heater do I Need?

Answer

What size water heater you will need is dependent on the usage of water in your home and the number of people using the hot water. The other thing you want to look at is the recovery rate of the hot water heater. The reason for this is because if you have a rush hour on the shower, you don't want to wait forever for the water heater to catch up so everyone can shower.

1 Additional Answer
You can figure out what size water heater you need by adding up how much hot water you use during the day and at peak times. If you have a solar thermal hot water heating system, you might want a larger, hotter storage tank with tempering valves to prevent scalding.
