Important Things To Consider
​
-
If you currently have a 60-gallon water heater, you will need to choose either a 50-gallon or 75-gallon model. Since 2015, 60-gallon natural gas water heaters have been eliminated from every manufacturer's product lineup due to new energy requirements from the US Department of Energy and the National Appliance Conservation Act. A great option in this situation is a 12-year warranty 50-gallon natural gas tank with a non-powered water heater booster. This can provide you with performance similar to a 75-gallon tank, along with a longer warranty and better energy efficiency.
​
-
Your next water heater may cost more, but a self-cleaning model or longer warranty can save you money in the long run.
​
-
Bradford White's 6 year warranty tank is self cleaning. Therefore it can last longer than non self cleaning tanks according to the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act. Because of this Bradford White offers a warranty upgrade and not a different line of water heaters for longer warranties.​​
​
-
Water heaters are not pro-rated under warranty like car batteries. If a water heater malfunctions within the warranty period, a replacement unit will be provided. If any fees are charged by the supplier or store, a new warranty will be issued. If the replacement is a direct exchange, the new tank will inherit the remaining warranty of the previous water heater. It is important to note that 12-year tanks can only be replaced with 12-year tanks, and the same applies to 9 and 6 year models.
​
-
You don't need a receipt for warranty purposes as the tank's serial number provides its date of manufacture.
​
-
If you possess a bigger water heater, it may be worthwhile to explore the possibility of using a gas tankless alternative. These tankless units have the potential to outperform larger tanks and result in significant energy savings. Often, investing in tankless can yield a return on investment within a mere 2 years.

Essential Things To Consider For Your Next Propane Water Heater
Water heaters today are built with a predetermined lifespan under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act. This act was passed by Congress in 1975 and later amended in 1987 to include hot water tanks for residential use. The most recent phase of this act took effect in 2015 and requires water tanks to have a specified lifespan.
​
​
Bradford White water heaters are the only locally available propane water heaters that are self-cleaning. This is important because the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act requires that non-self-cleaning tanks fail within 8 years. You can expect any Bradford White tank to last at least 10 years. A warranty upgrade is available to guarantee a 10-year lifespan
Water heaters are not prorated under warranty like car batteries. If a water heater fails during the warranty period. You get a brand new heater. If the supply house or store charges any fee. You receive a brand new warranty. If it is an even exchange, the new tank will inherit the remaining warranty of the previous water heater.
​
​
You do not need a purchase receipt. The tank's serial number provides its date of manufacture for warranty purposes.
​
​
