For the Fourth Consecutive Year, Bradford White Remains the tank water heater brand most purchased by Plumbing and Heating Contractors. We are also, again, the most recommended brand.

Want to know why? We could tell you, but we'd rather let your industry colleagues speak for us. Here are just a few excerpted comments listed in the 2009 CLEAReport* by Clear Seas Research...

"Fit and finish of their product is first class."

"Water Heater with the best gas control valve on the market"

"We service Bradford White and have thousands of dollars (worth) of their parts and never use them."

"Solid, long lasting and easy to repair."

"The largest portion of our tanks installed are Bradford White natural draft, we like the FVIR system."

"(They) have a great engineering department"

"Bradford is just all around (a) better heater and company"

"My dealer and Bradford White could not be any better than they are."

"Not sold retail" "Best product" "Support of PHCC" "American made"

And the number one response... ."Quality"

We like that. Thank you for your continued support. We'll keep striving, innovating, and working hard every day to be the water heater brand of choice for all plumbing professionals.
