At Payless Water Heaters, we have 35+ years experience repairing and replacing every major water heater brand and type — we’ve seen it all. As an authorized Bradford White water heater service provider and California’s top-ranked Noritz Tankless installer, we handle everything from installation to permits and code compliance. We’ve held the top Noritz installation contractor position for nearly 20 years and carry contractor-grade inventory on every truck so we can get your hot water restored the same day you call.
Bradford White Water Heaters — Authorized California Installer
Bradford White is our primary tank water heater brand, and for good reason. Built for contractors, not big-box shelves, Bradford White water heaters deliver superior durability, full (non-prorated) warranties, and up to 75% fewer emissions compared to standard units. We supply and install Bradford White throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego County, Ventura County, San Mateo County, Alameda County, and surrounding areas.
Key benefits of Bradford White water heaters include:
- ENERGY STAR® certified models that reduce utility costs and environmental impact
- Scald-free temperature control for household safety
- Auto shut-off features that extend appliance lifespan
- Full contractor-grade warranty — not the prorated coverage sold at retail stores
- Minimal maintenance requirements
Bradford White has manufactured water heaters for over 100 years and remains the most recommended brand among professional plumbing contractors. When you choose Payless Water Heaters, you get a contractor-grade unit backed by a full manufacturer warranty — not the limited coverage that leaves big-box customers stranded when problems arise.
Same-Day Bradford White Installation
Because we specialize exclusively in water heaters, we stock Bradford White units on every truck and offer same-day installation across California. Our water heater installation will get your hot water running in hours, not days.
Bradford White Repair and Replacement
Our technicians are individually certified to install and service Bradford White systems. If your unit is showing any of the following signs, call us for a same-day assessment:
- No hot water or inconsistent water temperature
- Leaking from the tank or fittings
- Rumbling, popping, or banging noises
- Discolored or rusty water
- Unit is 10–15 years old or older
How to Find the Age of Your Bradford White Water Heater
Locate the serial number on the unit’s data plate. The first two characters indicate the manufacturing year, and the next two indicate the production week. Note that other manufacturers use different serial number formats — if you’re unsure, call us and we’ll help you identify your unit.

Other Water Heater Brands We Service
Our technicians service and repair virtually every water heater brand on the market. Whether your unit is a conventional tank, power vent, direct vent, hybrid heat pump, or commercial atmospheric vent model, we have the expertise to diagnose and fix it — often the same day.
Tank water heater brands we service include AO Smith, State, American Standard, GE, and others. For tankless units, we repair Navien, Rinnai, Takagi, Bosch, State, and more. We’ve resolved hundreds of tankless repairs that other plumbing companies couldn’t diagnose. For Rheem water heater repairs specifically, our local experts handle Rheem service calls throughout California — learn more about our Rheem repair services.
In general: if your water heater is leaking from a fitting, it may be repairable. If it’s leaking from the bottom of the tank, replacement is almost always necessary. Call us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Contractor-Grade Water Heaters Outperform Big-Box Brands
The water heaters sold at retail stores come with prorated, limited warranties — meaning the manufacturer’s coverage decreases over time, and customers often don’t find out until they have a problem. When issues arise, retailers typically direct homeowners to call a plumber, and that plumber often doesn’t stock parts for the brand they didn’t install.
At Payless Water Heaters, we use contractor-grade equipment with full warranties, better valves, better thermostats, and higher-quality materials throughout. And because we specialize only in water heaters, we routinely save customers $300–$500 compared to general plumbers — with no overtime fees, ever.

Our certified installer status with Bradford White and platinum-level partnership with Noritz aren’t granted to every company — they’re earned through years of consistent, high-quality installations across California. These relationships allow us to offer manufacturer pricing passed directly to our customers.
