Ive replaced 5 water heaters (elecT) myself over 45 years of home ownership, and there seems to be reduced quality for most brands that I have bought. Warranties seem to get reduced every decade. Try to get one with a warranty greater then 10 years like they use to be., good luck. The last Reheem I bought needed the lower heating element replaced after 3 years. Maybe its better in Florida where the water is generally basic and not acidic as the water in MD is. Be careful if you are thinking of putting a water heater anywhere inside your house, versus the garage incase of leaks. These are important homeowner decisions. Don't have to replace all your flooring because of a kitchen or bathroom leak.
