    2 dishwashers. 2 water heaters.

    I have that in my current house and it’s amazing.

      Why 2 dishwashers?

        One for business and the other for pleasure

        Cooking for 4 uses a lot of dishes. Modern dishwashers are also much slower because of energy efficiency.

      Why two water heaters and not just one big one?

        They don’t make them that big but the other big reason I like it is because they are piped together with bypass valves so either one can fail and we still have hot water while waiting on a repair.

          Why not tankless?

            I definitely considered it but the house already came with 2 so it was easier to stick with it and reconfigure them to work in parallel with bypass valves. The other reason is I’m trying to get off of gas and the electric ones are energy hogs. My current tanks are now heat pumps.

              Ah, I forget that heat pumps are an option. Makes sense
