Specs: 30 gallons stored, single 4500W heating element, UEF 0.93, 39-gallon FHR, 6-year tank and parts warranty. Glass-lined steel tank, magnesium anode rod.
The 30-gallon Richmond Essential serves single-person households or supplementary water heaters. About $349 at Home Depot, $800 installed.
For 2+ person primary residences, the 40-gallon or larger Richmond Essential is the better-sized choice. The 30-gallon serves a narrow niche of single-person or vacation use.
