Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gas water heater 40gal gas water heater. Installed 11-21-2024 Had it installed by local plumber. choose because of the 12 yr warranty. Choose over a more expensive mfg because of the longer warrenty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New Hot Water Tank...Yes! Recently had my plumber install a new GE 40 gallon hot water tank (nat gas). Nice low profile design and attractive finish. in use less than a month and working very well so far. The price for the tank was lower than most competitors, and this model carries a 12 year warranty superior to others.
