Call at least 2 plumbers for an opinion. Sounds like a element/electrical issue. If the water heater is 10 years old+, the condition of the tank will determine if its cheaper to repair or replace. You don't want to replace the electrical's if it's likely the tank will fail/leak due to corrosion a few years later.

Speed of internal Corrosion differs due to the water type. Tank located inland will corrode faster internally than coastal due to mineral content of water. I own a rental property for 15 years. Trust me, water heaters can be a money pit if you get the wrong advise. Repair vs Replace.
