Let’s explore this outstanding brand in more detail to learn why it is an HVAC industry leader and one of Standard’s preferred brands.  

Domestic Hot Water Heaters 

Bradford White has been an HVAC industry leader since 1881. For more than a century, the company has manufactured its state-of-the-art hot water heaters at its Middleville, Michigan, facility. The same facility is home to the company’s research team, consisting of professionals who constantly evaluate emerging technologies and adopt them as appropriate to enhance safety, energy efficiency, performance, and reliability.  

Bradford White is American Strong. It employs more than 2,000 people at its United States’ facilities. All products are U.S.-made using high-quality materials and innovative technological solutions, including notable features such as: 

Hydrojet® Total Performance System 

This feature, which comes standard on top-connect residential hot water heaters, minimizes the accumulation of sediment and increases the hot water heater’s lifespan. It also boosts efficiency and has a high first hour rating for producing hot water. 

Vitraglas® Tank Lining with Microban®  

This protective feature comes standard on every tank water heater. It keeps the tank cleaner by preventing mold, mildew, and bacterial growth, and it offers extra protection and safety while also protecting the tank itself from the water’s corrosive effects. 

Smart Controls 

Bradford White Connect™ lets you change the temperature of the water, set schedules, and receive error alerts. You can also track your energy usage from the app on your smartphone. 

Choice of Gas or Electric 

Not only do Bradford White hot water heaters deliver the ultimate performance, but they also offer versatility. Choose from water heaters that suit your home’s needs, including options for gas or electric residential hot water heaters.  

Electric Hot Water Heaters 

Easy installation, incredible reliability, and energy-saving technology make these tank-style water heaters a favorite among many Upstate New Yorkers. Bradford White offers various high-performance units, including Lowboy Electric models that can fit in confined areas.  

Gas Hot Water Heaters 

If your home uses gas as its energy source, Bradford White also has gas water heaters to meet your needs. Many include additional safety and energy efficiency-related features. For example, models with Ultra Low-NOx produce up to 75% less greenhouse gases, and the ICON System® provides continual temperature monitoring for optimal delivery of hot water. Bradford White’s exclusive Defender Safety System® gives homeowners additional peace of mind and allows water heaters to be safely installed in garages and utility rooms.
