Depends if you have a habit of using hot water or not.

In my case, no.

what about having hot water at Washing machine...but mine is those asian top load not sure can have hot water anot

why would you need to run hot water at washing machine? If your washing machine is good functional, you can set the temperature.

i regret not running hot water to my washing machine coz i'm using a gas heater

it's cheaper to heat the water using the gas heater compared to the washing machine

though the gas heater can only reach 45 degrees compared to 90 degrees on the washing machine

ran hot water to my sink coz wanted to have it handy for times that i might need it

That is because it is using gas ma. Washing machine is using electricity.

But normally, I will set high for 1st wash, the rest of the cycle back to normal temperature.

Check your washing machine specification and function.

I had my existing home and new home running H/C on sink which i think is very handy when come to defrost and washing. Not that i need to turn it to the hottest, but warm is good for the cool and harsh weather. H/C for Wash basin will be good for removing makeup and brushing sensitive teeth.

hope its help in making ur desicion.

I also wanted that beginning but throw the idea away when my mom reminded me small children might get scald if not careful.

[applefreak 1]

does anyone really set the temp at the heater so high?

gas heater max only 45 degrees celsius, won't scald anyone

as for having hot water for the various points, think it really depends on how deep is your pocket and what you want

if pocket is deep enough, then by all means run it to everywhere

better to have it and not need it, then to need it but not have it

Yes, it's good to have hot water to your kitchen sink. Makes washing greasy dishes much easier. I am sure most of the time you won't be needing hot/warm water to wash your dishes. But you roast alot or bake alot, hot water is great for washing up.

I know this is not relevant if your home is a HDB but just so you know, expats who rent private homes always ask for hot water to the kitchen sink. And landlords of private homes have to make sure this is available.
