Based on your experience which water heater do you recommend? A.O. Smith or Rheem 40 gallon short gas water heater ? I'm very confused on which one to choose. Beside that do you recommend any other water heater?

Sepco Stone-Lined water heaters last more than half a decade Century easily.

Ask your electric or fuel-gas supplier about any available rebates for a Sepco. Aside from an extra-thick "stone" lining, they also have much thicker insulation making them more efficient. This often makes them targets for governmental programs looking to lower home energy use.
