I am going to have to change them and before I bought new ones I was just wondering which would be better to purchase.

Well there's an up and a down side. The 4500 w are going to use a little more power but heat the water quicker. The 3500's are not going to use as much power but have to stay on longer. So they end up using a little more power. I would say its going to depend on how much hot water you use. If you don't use a lot, they will not have to stay on very long and you might save some power. If you use a lot, then they are going to stay on a lot to reheat the water. I changed 2 side by side 30 gal tanks 4500w elements to 6000 w elements so they would heat water quicker due to a whirlpool tub that kids were using all the time. And it still couldn't keep up with the demand of the kids. But there kids, and don't know about that yet.
