I recently read an important post about the hot water heater. It should have an 18 inch platform to avoid fire hazards. Every home needs one of these and you want to be sure that yours is large enough to supply your needs. The system should be able to handle running let's say your dishwasher and take a shower at the same time.
Oil-fired and gas-fired water heaters are quite efficient and will reheat more quickly. An electric water heater takes longer to reheat so that is why you usually find them with a 60 gallon tank.
If you have a family of let's say 12 and perhaps some teenagers then your household needs may exceed the norm.
Just some food for thought when it comes to this important part of the home!
