Replacement of 6-Year-Old Leaking Water Heater | Installation of Bradford White 40-Gallon in San Diego

The client’s 6-year-old water heater, installed in 2019, began leaking from the bottom and exhibited signs of exterior deterioration, prompting Happy Plumbing to recommend a replacement. With water heaters typically lasting 8 to 10 years, the existing unit was nearing the end of its lifespan, and replacing it would help prevent further damage. Happy Plumbing installed a new Bradford White 40-gallon water heater in the same location, ensuring it met all current code requirements for optimal efficiency and safety.

The new Bradford White water heater comes with a 6-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and Happy Plumbing provided the first annual service at no cost. To maintain the warranty, the homeowners must schedule an annual service flush. The manufacturer also provides a 6-year warranty on the tank, and the standard labor warranty lasts for 1 year unless the annual maintenance is carried out by Happy Plumbing.
