Electric water heaters.

You'd need some HD wiring for that. Plus these on demand electric heaters tend to hit the grids when they have the least power to spare for customer demand.

    Electric water heaters.

    This isn't steam related, but hopefully someone here can advise me or direct me to a site that deals with electrics. I have a small 20 gallon 120 volt water heater dedicated to the kitchen sink which is beginning to show signs of failure. The new trend seems to be "end use" heaters, in fact i'm having difficulty even finding one of the old tank types in this size. Are they really that much better and if so what size would be a good replacement for the old 20 gal. tank? Thanks,
    John

    electric 120V are common but probably thru a supply house.

    Perhaps...

    ...installing a small tank-type 120 volt heater, supplied by your main water heater would be worth considering. You would get quick hot water without the need to store so much by the sink. Make sure the tank is at least three times the volume of the line from the main heater.. ie: if you need to draw 1.6 gallons of water for it to warm, get a 5 gallon tank.

    Yours, Larry
