Gonna be upgrading the hot water tank in my rental, as agreed upon with the landlord. As this is the first time I'll be purchasing one, I've genuinely no idea what I'm looking at/for. The existing unit is a 40 gallon, natural gas tank. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking for and a realistic price on labour? Prices seem to vary quite a bit on the tanks themselves. As this is merely a place I'm renting, I'm not overly concerned about a long warranty (neither is the owner, as he's attempting to sell the towhouse), but I'd like something that keeps warm water flowing for more than three minutes while I'm having a shower.
Suggestions?
