Five years ago the 80-gallon expired after 17 years.
I went tankless, paid $1,000 at amazon, local stores wanted $1,200, so I saved $272 as paid no taxes--was the largest at time for home use.
Knew a dood, he installed on a Saturday, gave him $500 plus $200 tip, as was a lot of work, ran it thru two 50s, and then did a separate box of 3 60s--who needs permits and inspections.
At peak, there were five ladies in the home, tankless was always up to challenge.
I would buy again, as my neighbor just replaced a 60-gallon and paid $2K for heater, parts and labor.
