Bradford White sells primarily through professional installers rather than retail, which is why plumbers like us are the typical path to service and replacement.

It's a small tank that absorbs pressure changes as water heats, and many local codes require one on closed plumbing systems. We can tell you if yours needs one.
How do I know if the igniter has failed?
If a gas unit won't ignite at all or only intermittently, the igniter or flame sensor is a common cause, and we can test and replace it.

Yes, switching brands during a replacement is common and we handle the full installation.
Do you offer routine maintenance for Bradford White units?
