I'm replacing my aging (34 year old) AO Smith 52-gal electric water
heater.
I looked at the GE brand at Home Depot. But since my water heater failed
last night, I called a plumber, and he's installing a 50-gal Bradford
White
today ($360.00 + $250 installation) Is this a pretty decent brand of water
heater?

It has a 6-year warranty. They want another $170 to extend the waranty to
12 years. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Scott

That sounds like a pretty good deal. If it's a straight out and in job you
might consider doing it yourself depending on how comfortable you are with
that stuff.

The last water heater I had installed cost over $900 but I had to have some
upgrades done to the plumbing fittings too. Still I think that was a bit
high. They tend to screw you when you need hot water!
