I currently have a 50 gal tank heated by propane. I am considering switching to a tankless electric. I had a tankless propane installed when I first moved into my house by a plumber but the heater never worked, just made boom boom noises and I had to return it. I would rather switch to electric because the only appliance in my home that runs on propane is the water heater and it is somewhat of a hassle to have the propane tank filled.
If I do switch over I am wondering if I should get two water heaters for either side of the house. Currently the water heater is located in the laundry on the front end of the house, the kitchen is in the middle and the bathrooms are on the other end in the back of the house, I would say there is at least a 50 ft run. It takes at least 3 minutes for the hot water to make it to the shower. Would getting two units be more economical than one whole house unit? I am also located in Southern California so we are trying to conserve water as well, so to me it makes more sense to get a smaller unit for the shower side of the house to stop wasting water waiting for it to heat up.

Tankless water heater: One or two heaters?
