It may not be what the budget holds or gas may not be a possibility but I replaced a 50 gal electric with an industrial gas Rinnai 11 gpm exterior mounted tankless water heater and it's fantastic.
It's a lot more expensive on the front end but I can sit in the shower for as long as I want while the tub runs wide open with toilets and dishwashers and washing machines and water hoses and whatever else is going.
O God, you are my God; early will I seek you. Psalm 63:1

I did an AO Smith 50 gallon electric about 3 years ago. Got it from Lowes and brought it home and did it myself. Do yourself a big favor ,while you are shopping, be sure to go ahead and buy the extra hardware to be able to drain your unit once a year . Get rid of that crappy plastic drain that comes with it and add a 4 to 6 inch piece of pipe and a true brass spigot or ball type drain. Sediment build up is bad in some waters systems

Rheem is in Montgomery. I welded them tanks about 40 years ago and quickly realized that assembly line work wasnt for me.
