Best water heater, by household

The right water heater depends on your peak hour, not the tank sticker: how many showers, loads, and taps run at once sets the first-hour rating a tank needs or the flow a tankless must sustain. Pick your household:

• Best water heater for a Family of 2
• Best water heater for a Family of 3
• Best water heater for a Family of 4 (2 bathrooms)
• Best water heater for a Family of 5
• Best water heater for a Family of 6 or More
• Best water heater for a 1-Bathroom Home
• Best water heater for a 2-Bathroom Home
• Best water heater for a 3-Bathroom Home
• Best water heater for a Small Apartment or Condo
• Best water heater for a Large Family Home (4+ bathrooms)
