Water Heaters
Anyone have any suggestions or tips? I know I want to go 50 gallons. There is a huge price range and I am clueless. My current one is gas, and I assume that is better than electric, but I'm basing that on nothing at all.

Re: Water Heaters
We went 80 gallons in the new house. Four people, three women, 3.5 baths. Went as big as possible.
Gas ones get the water hotter faster from what I tell and allow you to go with a smaller capacity because of that I believe. We are in an all-electric neighborhood (COAL!) so that's why we went larger. The 50 gallon in the townhouse was not cutting it, also electric.

We just got a new one (see the home owners thread). We went with whatever the contractor recommended, and I think it was just 40 gallons.
Make sure you look up the NJ Warm rebate program.
