Gas water heater had tank leak at 4 years old. Covered under warranty but had to pay $450 out of pocket for replacement install on top of water damage to my carpet and floor in my master closet along with black mold. Not very happy.

New 40 gallon BW HWH installed April, 2021. We had a huge issue with spitting air/water when water turned on-on all faucets. We have had it "bled" by our plumber SIX times and it doesn't get any better. It's extremely irritating to experience the spitting, sputtering whenever the hot water is turned on. Very very very disappointed with this. How can the be fixed??

My (Bradford-White) water heater is now turning 24 years old. Installed on August 11th. 1997. Never touched, never drained except for one replaced thermocouple about 10 years ago. Just checking reviews to see how long others have lasted. Wondering if should replace it now or, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Our heating & air company installed 50 gallon March 2019. By August 2020 it started to leak. Our installer charged us $500/ later reduced to $425. to replace defective unit. Wrote to Bradford White & they told our repair company they would send them a check to forward to us for the $425. Our repair company never received the check & neither did we. So much for the word of Bradford White & their products. The only reason we agreed to go with Bradford was because their factory was in the USA. Needless to say, never again!... read more

Nonexistent customer service. Called and was put on hold, they never answered. I checked the website for hours to see if they had all gone home for the day, and they don't even list hours so I'll never know. Won't be doing business with a company like this again, for any product, at any price. I don't know if this was laziness or incompetence, and I don't care. I'll be using other brands.

We have had terrible luck with our water heater. It was purchased in 2018. In 2020 the gas lighter went bad. Cost us $125 after negotiating with the Bradford White repair company. Then in 2021 it sprung a leak and flooded in the basement. While the part was technically covered we had to spend another $875 in labor. At this point we've now repaid almost half the original price of the water heater. Incidentally we have a 50 gallon short tank gas water heater. I'm so disappointed and trying to decide if it's worth it to... read more

I purchased a Bradford White water heater. It did not come with an outer door. I contacted the supplier who said I would have to contact Bradford White. I called Bradford White's 24 hour service line and was told that their parts department could help me the next morning when they were open. I contacted the parts department who told me that the supplier (who said to call Bradford White and have them mail me the part) were the ones to help me. The water heater seems to be working fine; however, you may want to consider the ab... read more

After living in our first home for 15 years with a Bradford White water heater that was replaced after 17 years of use with another Bradford White we moved to a home circa 1960 with the original Bradford still working! Our home inspector and contractor were stunned, they had never seen a water heater that old still working. Unfortunately, we had to replace it due to safety concerns and the choice was simple...another Bradford White. We called up the company, told them our story, sent over some pictures and they were out t... read more
