Need a new water heater, what’s the best brand for reliability etc? Current one leaking like crazy 4 spots from 2009
My first hot water heater was a Rheem, it lasted 25 years. 2nd heater was a Bradford White, it lasted 15 years. Now I just got an AO Smith 12 years from Lowe's, let's see how it goes.

Best brand for furnaces and water heaters.
Bradford white has some models at least (maybe all) that have jets that help prevent sediment build up. Mine does and it still recommended flushing. Even if you don't flush they last significantly longer because of those jets. I'm hoping it will last even longer with the jets and flushing.

Best brand for furnaces and water heaters.
i have a bradford white and I called a plumbing company recently since my brother advised me water heaters must be flushed regularly. They came out and said this type doesnt need to be flushed. So apparently some dont? Maybe I got a good one

Best brand for furnaces and water heaters.
Bradford white for tanked water heaters. Also don't forget periodic maintenance like flushing / draining.

Hot Water Heater (Electric)
Bradford White is an employee owned company that makes its products in the US if you find that important.

Hot Water Heater (Electric)
Hybrid is a heat pump, so that means a compressor and moving parts, which would mean more problems. Bradford White and A.O. Smith would be my picks.
