Why is my hot water heater running even when I'm not using any hot water?

Your hot water heater may be running even when you're not using hot water because it is working to maintain the set temperature of the water in the tank. This is a normal function of the heater to ensure that hot water is readily available when you need it.


Do you use the water heater when you use just cold water?

If water is only drawn from the cold faucet, then no, the water heater is not involved. However, if water is drawn from the hot faucet- even for a few seconds- hot water IS withdrawn from the heater, and fresh cold water drawn in to be heated- even if the hot water did not make it all the way through the pipe to the faucet- and the water heater will work to heat that fresh cold water.

What size water heater for 1200sqfeet?

It is not the square feet that determines the size water heater you need it is the demand. The more people who live in the home the higher the demand on the water heater to produce enough hot water. 1-3 people requires a 40 gallon water heater 4-6 people requires a 50 gallon water heater Of course you can make do with a 40 gallon water heater with a family of 4 or more but you will at times run out of hot water. Even if there are only 1 or 2 living in the home do not buy a 30 gallon water heater. You save very little money and may run out of hot water. But at least a 40 gallon.
