I have two 50 gallon and wondering if anyone has a contractor that did a good job with this. The piping will also need to be replaced.

Chambliss Plumbing did mine. Family owned company. I have been pleased with all their work.

2nd vote for Chambliss as I've used them for other work and was very pleased. They'd be my first call if I were in your position.

Tankless!

Chambliss. Builder grade WH went out. I had seen their ads about converting to tankless. I wanted to switch to tankless. I was prepared to spend up to $10K and the owner asked me questions about why and what I expected and the talked me out of it based on our house and needs. That is honesty. He could have done it and made lots of money and not thought anything about it, but he was more interested in what we needed and would work for us.

if not gas in house, he told me tankless is a waste of money for getting your return. He said it is great, but not practical. He gave a good value price to me.

Bolin Plumbing is another family owned company in the area that is very honest and are not the kind of folk to upsell. I know them personally, good people.

We did a major remodel and added an additional water heater. Wife wanted tankless but when researched we found the same thing. One thing we did add that is pretty good is a recirculation pump so when you turn the shower or tub on, you get hot water in seconds instead of purging the whole line. I'd say DYI but since you are redoing connections and all, best to have it done and take away that headache.

We use Extreme Plumbing. 210 308 8556. Luie Garza has done good work for us.
