Features
ASME & Non-ASME models with Millivolt Technology provide high-powered performance while making installations easier and less complicated. Using self-generated power from the pilot and thermopile assembly to operate the flue damper, there's no need to hard wire one for electricity or to locate it near an outlet. The continuous pilot ignition system eliminates lockout situations and utilizes a simplified control system for easier operation.
State & AO Smith - To start off, AO Smith and State are owned by the same company. Both of these water heater have good reliability and performance. We currently carry and install State only. We recommend staying away from AO Smith only because most local supply houses in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and Marin have stopped distribution. In comparison to Bradford White we find State water heater to be maybe one small step below, but still a great water heater.
Bradford White - We've had little if any issues with Bradford White water heaters. They are made in American and every tank is fill and pressure tested. Meaning we don't have lemons making it into the field. We are definite a big fan of Bradford White. You can't go wrong with these water heaters.
American - One of only a few water heater manufactures that still glass line the tanks, Bradford White is the other. These are great water heaters and we've had very few if any call backs or recalls. The only downside is availability. We try to recommend clients go with more readily available companies since repair parts are sometimes needed - no product is perfect.
Kenmore, Maytag, & GE - Though we do carry GE heat pump water heaters and have had good results. We avoid Home Center water heaters, such as GE, Kemore, and Maytag, because we find their reliability to be sub-standard. You get what you pay for with these models. We have also found most clients have a hard time actually getting warranty service when a failure occurs. Obviously we are biased when we tell clients to avoid these Home Center brands, but when I look outside at our stock of water heaters to recycle these big name brands make up over 80% of the pile.
These brief summaries are our field findings and general opinions. We encourage you to complete your own research. We do not have complete knowledge or practice with all manufactures or models. These opinions are not a guarantee against failures.
