When it does fail, does it make sense to install a smaller one as there are only the two of us?
Most online references say a 30-gallon would be sufficient.
Would it be cheaper to run, or are they all so well-insulated these days...
Thank you

All my life I've had 50-60 gal electric heater. Had 2 boys that knew water never ended. Here in The Villages my heater is gas. Very fast recovering in fact seamless.I just hope I never have to replace it. The heater itself not pricy but installation will ruin a checking account. for just replaced his, for house sale and My neighbor just replaced his to sell the house. Mandatory certified gas techs, Had to redo the exhaust system and several conversions from old system to new codes. All told close to $4k.
