Hot water seems to run out within about a 10-15 min shower, we have at least 3 showers needed in the mornings, would a point of use water heater at each shower help with this problem? It's always worse in the winter.
Thanks!

Are you doing dishes or laundry or anything at the same time? How many gallon tank do you have?

HI ALL...
WENDY... ANSWER ZOE'S QUESTION ABOUT TANK SIZE and then tell us if this is gas or electric water heater?
Point of use heaters may be cost prohibitive... let's see what else we can come up with.
I'm back on later tonight... busy day. Check back then (after you answer our questions)... ;)
Let us know...

Laundry but I only use cold water, I always wait till after shower time to use any hot water. Our tank is a 50 gallon tank.

50 gallon electric heater. The tank is about 14 years old but seems to be in good condition.
Thanks
