A homeowner in South San Jose reached out to us a few months ago regarding an issue with their aging water heater. At that time, the pilot light had gone out, and we were able to safely relight it. However, during the visit, we noticed clear signs that the unit was nearing the end of its service life — the tank showed visible signs of corrosion and minor leakage, common warning signs that failure was only a matter of time.

Several months later, the customer contacted us again — this time ready to proceed with a full gas water heater replacement. We scheduled the job at their convenience and arrived with a brand-new 40-gallon Bradford White unit. Interestingly, their old setup used a short model, even though there was plenty of room for a full-height unit. We’re not sure why a short model had been installed, but we corrected that by upgrading to a proper tall model, which allows for better capacity and maintenance access.

During the installation, we also replaced all essential components to bring the system up to modern safety standards:

The result was a much safer, code-compliant, and durable hot water setup, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a reliable supply of hot water. The Bradford White unit is a trusted brand, and the tall 40-gallon model was a perfect fit for the space.
