Anybody have a recommendation for an electric hot water heater?
I have a 50 Gallon AO Smith Pro Max that started to leak just as the warranty expired and I am hesitant to get another one. I hear Bradford White is the way to go, but I am not even sure that I can get one around here without being a contractor. I worked for a plumber for 4 years so I would be doing the job myself. I know from him to steer clear of big box stores. I am just looking for some insight as to what is a reliable brand and if I am sizing properly. Currently I am running a 50 Gallon, 1 1/2 bath house with 4 residents. Should I upgrade to a 65 Gallon? If I do decide to get a Bradford White, should I get the High Efficiency energy model? (example HE65R6DS-65)
Any advise would be fantastic.
