I emailed the manufacturer about top vs bottom entry
They responded
Quote:
The information provided to you is slightly incorrect.
There have been some new energy efficiency requirements for the province of BC which has changed the list of tanks available in BC.
There are still top entry models available in British Columbia.
The 60 gallon tank is available with a top entry in BC.
The Watt loss per hour is what determines whether a tank is available in BC or not.
The 60 gallon top entry has a watt loss of 75 Watts / hour
The 60 gallon bottom entry has a watt loss of 96 Watts / hour
The top entry is slightly more efficient.

I need to look but if I remember correctly the top entry 60 with a loss of 75 watts is a longer warranty model which probably means more insulation.
