He also asked us to consider going with a single 50 gallon hot water tank
($650 installed and removing our 2 existing tanks). His reasoning:

I would not, repeat NOT, put in one tank instead of two..... if they
are in separate locations. Think about how far your furthest faucet
would be from the new single tank. You may have the totally irritating
new experience of cutting on the hot water tap and waiting a lifetime
for hot water.....

Unless somebody tried to go cheap with a tiny tank and had to fix a
we-just-ran-out-of-hot-water problem by installing a second tank next
to the first, two hot water heaters were probably installed for good
reason.....

We have one location for 2 tanks linked together. This was done when
we built the house 15 years ago. (BTW the existing tanks are 40
gallons, not 50). We no longer need that sort of capacity and will
have it replumbed for a single tank.
