From The Build Show.
In this episode of our series Perfect Plumbing Plan, we tackle one of the biggest homeowner complaints: running out of hot water. Matt, Eric, and Ross break down the pros and cons of today’s most common water-heating options—including heat pump, gas and electric tank models, tankless systems, and even advanced split and geothermal setups. They compare real-world performance, first-hour ratings, efficiency, installation considerations, and how climate and utility costs impact the best choice for your home. The team also explores hybrid solutions, retrofit challenges, and smart future-proofing strategies to ensure long-term reliability. Whether you’re designing new construction or upgrading an older system, this episode gives you the knowledge to size and select the right water-heating solution—and keep those cold-shower call-backs away.
