Performed comprehensive assessment of 14-year-old leaking A.O. Smith gas water heater for replacement. Evaluated household hot water demands (3 residents with frequent simultaneous usage and extended showers) to determine appropriate sizing for recommended tankless solution. Discussed various options including Rheem Prestige series with built-in recirculation capability and potential addition of outdoor hot water spigot. Documented existing gas line configuration and mechanical room layout for proper installation planning.
