Any plumbers on the forum have a favorite gas hot water heater? I need one about 30 gallons (small 2 bedroom house). Looking for something with good long term reliability.

  1. I checked around and got very high recommendations for AO Smith, so got that — a 75 gallon unit installed in my three family brownstone. Cost of unit plus installation by liscensed plumber was 2400 dollars.

  2. AO Smith, Ruud, Rheem, Bradford White. Gas or Electric, they’re all about the same. It’s only as good as the contractor who’s installing it. Stay away from the home center water heaters(Home Depot, Lowes).
