I have 2 old Ruud 40 gallon electric water heaters that are 23 years old. They are 4500 watt elements. Can I replace them with new 5500 watt dual element units without worrying about wiring?

On 240 volt system the currant draw is 23 amps And on 110 volt system the draw is 50 amps . If the wiring can handle the above load plus the safety margin it would be safe.
