We are currently installing a second GE Hybrid water heater. These water heaters are replacing two electric heaters that were originally installed in our home 20 years ago.
The original heaters were wired in such a way that only one of them had power at a time, so that the peak load was never higher than that created by one heater.
How can the new heaters be wired to function the same way? Or is it better to run a new 30amp line to the second heater?
