Recommendations on a new water heater

[Tom7227]

I think that trying to get a new fan for the old water heater probably doesn't make sense at 14 years old and $238 for the blower. It still works but you just know it's going to go out when I'm out of town or on Thanksgiving or something.

I need a power vent water heater, natural gas and 40 gallons. I don't need a Cadillac but I don't want an Edsel either. Someone have recommendations on what to buy - a place that will sell to a homeowner?

Thanks for your help.

I have a 40 gallon Rheem sitting in my basement with a bad tank. Chances are the fans are interchangable.

King Canada seems to have come up with a temporary solution.

I still would like to get some recommendations as to manufacturers to go for or to stay away from. 40 gal natural gas power vent - prices seem to start at about $1100 from what I've seen so far and go as high as $1800.

Again, any help is appreciated.

I have installed many different kinds over the year and the one I prefer is the rheem rudd brand. They run flawlessly and they have great warranty and customer service.

A connection can get me a Vanguard from Graingers at a bit of a discount. Anyone have any opinion on these units?

I've got a A O Smith that has worked well for about 10 years. Had a Rheem before the AO that lasted 14 years.

I'm set with a Rheem.

Thanks for all the help on this and my previous posting.
