Reply to comment by GeekX2 in Recirculating pump for tankless water heater by GeekX2

Personally, I would rather run the electric (assuming there's space in the breaker box) then deal with new plumbing.

I did misunderstand your post though. I thought that the kitchen was your main focus. Even if you are concerned about more than one fixture I would still strongly consider the point of use heaters. Or get rid of the tankless heater.

I probably wouldn't end up doing any of this. None of these options make good financial sense...but not everything we do in life needs to be the sensible thing.

Keep in mind that I would have the same problem with a tank water heater. That is, it takes a long time to get water at the fixture.

Space in the box is a concern.

Right, but tankless+recirculation is a nonstarter in my mind. Your options are tankless and point of use on key fixtures or tank and recirc.
