With this discussion I'm wondering about multiple tankless water heaters to replace a tank heater; one to server each bathroom, and one to serve the kitchen and washer/dryer. No heater would need to serve more than one faucet at a time. (Mom's place is all electric.)
Our tankless heater is just on the other side of the wall from our shower, and it still takes a few seconds to clear the line and deliver hot water from a cold start. Multiple heaters would not eliminate this problem.
