Q:Â
What's the diff betw. both power vent 50 gal models 424273426 and 424273425? Do you have the full specs of both units? Does Sears currently carry any power vent heater that are Energy star qualified?
How much does Sears charge for installation of the above water heater? Do you offer free delivery and removal? Do Sears retail stores have this model in stock and on display or do I have to visit specialty stores? Are these good water heaters?

Item 73425 is a 50 U.S. gallon capacity tank with an input of 40,000 Btu/Hr. that yields a recovery of 44 gallons per hour. This model is constructed with 1 inch of foam insulation and has a diameter of 20 inches.
Item 73426 is also a 50-gallon capacity tank but has an input of 50,000 Btu/Hr yielding 53 gallons per hour recovery. The 73426 model has 2 inches of foam insulation and a diameter of 22 inches.
Both of these models have an EF (Energy Factor) of 0.65. Unfortunately, they are no longer ENERGY STAR qualified. ENERGY STAR raised its minimum EF last October from 0.62 to 0.67.
For information regarding installation, delivery and removal I would suggest contacting your local Sears retail store. I'm sure they could provide that assistance.
