I am looking to get a nat. gas water heater (with a tank). I currently have a 30 gal. Kenmore that is about 12 yrs. old that still works fine, but with a growing family I need more capacity.
I'm deciding between the Whirlpool and Kenmore with 12 year warranties (the 12 year tanks tend to have 2x the insulation of the others). The Whirlpool seems to be a tad more efficient than the Kenmore, but I've been impressed with the performance of my current Kenmore unit.
Anyway, does anyone have an opinion about which is better - or is there another brand that is better than both and priced competitively?
I'm not interested in going tankless. (I know the advantages, etc. but I'm going with a tank.)
Thank you.
