Awesome when it works. Awful when it doesn’t. Have had numerous C1 or C2 error codes almost weekly. Have to go the unit hold power for 3 seconds to refresh system.

I moved into a home with this type of water heater. The temperature was too low for us, so I adjusted the thermostat on the upper part of the tank, unaware that a lower thermostat needed to be adjusted as well. This resulted in me needing to call repair. In researching the problem and reading the booklet there was no warning that both thermostats needed to be exactly the same. Please include this warning on your website or booklet as this would have saved me a repair bill!

On 4/23/15 my plumber installed an RE240L6 ($487 plus labor). Sadly, after just 7 years, the tank leaked. Only one year out of warranty, I am quite disappointed. My plumber convinced me yet, that Bradford White is the brand to replace with, so, on 7/26/22 I had him install a new RE240L6 for $927 plus labor. At almost double the price, I sincerely hope that this unit lasts much longer than the first one. Any pain relief you can give me would be greatly appreciated. BTW, on that first unit, per the instructions, I relig... read more

I bought a new Bradford White in 2013. It just died today - Dec 16, 2021 - 8 months out of warranty. Not impressed!

I have a Bradford white water heater as i bought a new Town House in August 2016. Its just been about 5.5 years and my pressure relief valve failed causing water to drip down and seep into my other floors. It has been a trying time to get guidance on finding an authorized plumber for Bradford white and then engaging him to come over, get a replacement within the warranty and have same fixed

First time owning a Bradford White water heater and was sold with the statement it was built to last and better. Unfortunately just 3 years in the tank has failed and water leaked all over our basement floor, ruining our parts of our floor. Thankfully the new tank is covered by warranty but will not be telling others to buy a Bradford White for a quality water heater.

The first water heater was installed with the build of the house in 2007. It was replaced in 2016 with same model. This one put water all over the floor Thanksgiving morning 5 years and 5 months later. So your estimate of lasting 10 years or more is not my experience. of coarse the installer is unavailable today so cold shower and no hot water to wash dishes. Happy Thanksgiving!

Bad product. Doesn’t work with well water. Causes bad rotten egg smell. To remedy the problem you have to remove the anode rod or replace it which cost extra money and Bradford white won’t stand behind their product.
