The previous owners added on a full bathroom in the finished basement, I believe one water heater only supplies this and the rest of the house (1 full bath, kitchen, etc) are supplied by the other heater.

One is on it's way out (2011) and one is fairly new (2019).

Lose the 2nd heater entirely! No matter how efficient the appliance, it makes no sense to keep 40 gallons always hot for what sounds like a rarely used basement bath. A small tankless unit placed in or adjacent to the bath will provide instant & limitless hot water for a hand wash or shower, & draw ZERO kWh when not in use. Cost approx $250.
