We really don’t know what brand to even look at. Can you suggest a dependable 40 gallon natural gas water heater. Our budget is $500 + installation.Thanks[email]null[/email] 10 Feb 2004 at 5:17 am #298277 nicktheplumberParticipant I use Rheem and GE, and get the “12 year” warrantee models. Both brands work well, and most important, their manufacturers stand by them. Author Posts Viewing 1 reply thread You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
