Need Help. I need to decide what hot water system to install. I have to decide between two tank recirculating system, Tankless recirculating system, or possibly one of the heat pump style water heaters. Need help in choosing what is the best system for a 4500 sq ft. two level with a finished basement house. Thought I would ask some experts.
 
I recently changed to a large tankless with a recirc. system, and love it. It also qualified for a Federal Tax Rebate, and my natural gas usage is down about 40%. If you go to the water heater section of this forum, many of the questions and concerns may be answered. Where are you building this house? How many occupants? Will you have freeze concerns? Are you going to run PEX, copper, or galvanized? Are you branching out your pipes, or are you going to run "home runs" using manifolds?
 
Two tank recirculating system I think would be best for the area.
