: The builder of my new home wants to install a 50 gal. electric low-boy water heater in the 4 ft. craw space. The home is 4 bedroom, 3 bath, jacuzzi tub, and has an inground LP tank. First of all, is the 50 gal. electric enough for a house of these specifications and would it be better to go with an LP gas water heater?

You should check local building codes in reference to your LP heater question. Don't forget LP gas is heavier than air. An LP heater in a crawl space may not be a good idea. Check with the LP supplier, he may have a similiar situation in another location or tell you that it is not legal at all.
