Basic questions
How many people does the water heating system need to serve (now and in the future)?
How many bathrooms and appliances does the water heater need to serve? (more than one bathroom is the equivalent to an additional person and each appliance connected to hot water is also the equivalent to one additional person)
How large is the dwelling?
Where is the location?
Are you building a new home, or are you replacing a water heater in an existing home?
What is the capacity/size of the water heater you are replacing?
What fuel / tariff will be used/is currently being used and is it planned to continue to use the same energy source?
