Thirty Reasons To Buy A Water Heater From A Professional Installer
Published by The Bradford White Corporation, 2003
1. We Believe In What's Best For You
We're Bradford White, one of America's largest and oldest water heater manufacturers. We believe we know water heaters
and their potential as well as anyone. We know how well water heaters can work and how safe they can be when properly
installed. We also know the downfall and dangers of bad installations. That's why we believe water heaters should be
installed only by professionals.
2. The Rules Have Changed
As of July 1, 2003 all conventional 30, 40 and 50 gallon residential gas-fired water heaters must comply with new stringent
standards regarding Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistance. Bradford White has created the Defender Safety System, a
cutting edge technology that fully complies with the new standard. Your professional installer knows that he can count on
Bradford White to meet those requirements now and in the future.
3. A Growing Family Needs More Hot Water
When your family grows or when you add a large tub, a shower or even an entire bathroom, your demand for hot water
increases. A professional can help you with access to models specifically built for these types of changes.
4. The Safest Water Heaters Are Installed By Professionals
The Bradford White Defender Safety System is only available to professional installers- people whose knowledge, skill and
experience ensure that the right water heater , and one designed to be very safe when installed correctly. The peace of mind
you realize by having a plumber install your water heater is a priceless commodity you can get at a reasonable price.
5. A Professional Stands Behind His Work
When you hire a professional to do the installation, he's there to back up his work and to shoulder the responsibility that
comes with the job.
6. Troubleshooting Is For The Professional
If you're not familiar with what causes that rattling noise, that sulfur smell or that sudden reduction in available hot water,
it's best to do the right thing first. Call a professional.
7. One Call Does It All
When you call a professional to install your new water heater, you'll get a complete and efficient job well done. The
professional will answer all your questions and use all the right materials.
8. A Professional Does A Full Service Job
When you hire a professional, you'll get delivery and careful handling of your new water heater, proper installation and
removal of the old water heater from your home.
9. Your Choices And Options Are Varied
A professional can show you water heaters with improved features and higher operating efficiencies and tell you how they
may negate the need for a large capacity model.
10. Avoid Installation Mishaps
Installing a water heater can be a challenge. An inexperienced installer could inadvertently dry-fire the elements, damage
delicate parts, cross-thread gas connections or forget to elevate the water heater or use earthquake strapping when
necessary.
11. A Professional Understands Proper Sizing
Part of the professional's job is to properly size the water heater. That includes calculating the demands from multiple
bathrooms, dishwashers, clothes washers and any other points-of-use.
12. A Professional Understands The Importance Of Proper Venting
It is critical to vent the unit to the manufacturer's specifications. Improper vent size, total length or configuration can lead
to a dangerous build up of carbon monoxide inside the home.
13. Installing The Proper T&P Valve
The temperature and pressure relief valve opens to relieve pressure. Improper installation or the choice of an inadequate
valve can cause damage to the water heater or a hazardous pressure build up.
14. Working Safely With A Gas Fuel Source
Oil and Gas-fired water heaters require knowledge of the gas or oil fuel source and an understanding of gas connections
supply lines and start up. A professional has this experience and knowledge.
15. Using The Correct Materials
The choice of material types and sizes for venting, water inlet and outlet pipes and electric feed lines is best left to a
professional.
