I think its time to replace our old heater. Its been giving problems the last year or so and now i have a burned out element. THe heater is close to 10yrs old now, so considering i have to drain it anyways, i might as well swap it out.
So my question is whats a good model? The current one is a GSW thats been good up till this year (no shame for it).
Id like to get a High efficency model if possible. Due to cost and lack of gas, an upgrade to tankless likely wont work.
Home depot carries the GE models. I havent used one , are they any good?
GSW doesnt make a high effiency model at least that i can find.
I have a Ruud heater in the barn, thats been going for at least 8 years (likely 10) on the same elements (heater itself is even older) !!! And i keep the temp on it quite high. The water at the barn is super hard too.
Are the Ruud/Rheem marithon heaters any good? THey look to be quite efficient. Lifetime warranty on tank.
