GE Profile 40 Gal
#2 in 40–50 GallonFull review
The pick for most homes with a 240 V circuit: the most efficient and quietest heater here, at every size.

Under $2,500 covers many standard 50 and 65 gallon heat pump water heaters from the major tank makers, the usual replacement for an electric tank. They cut water heating electricity use by well over half compared with a resistance tank, and the efficiency gap is what pays back the higher price.
The sticker price is only part of the cost. Budget for installation, a condensate drain, and possibly a new circuit, since most need 240 V. They also need open air around them and make some noise and cool air, so a closet or small utility room can be a poor fit. Check federal and utility rebates, which often cover a large part of the cost.
