Bradford White Water Heater Installation in Hayward & the East Bay

Bradford White tanks, installed and repaired by our own licensed plumbers. Licensed, insured and bonded, CSLB #1156315. Open 24/7.

Bradford White is the water heater a lot of plumbers would put in their own house. The company sells through plumbing wholesalers rather than big-box stores, so you won't find one on a shelf at the hardware store — you get it through a licensed plumber who installs it.

We install and service Bradford White tank water heaters across Hayward and the East Bay: 40 and 50 gallon gas tanks, electric tanks, and the larger sizes for busy households. Most replacements are done in a single visit.

What we install and service

  • 40, 50 and 75 gallon gas tank water heaters
  • Electric tank water heaters
  • Same-spot replacements with permit, seismic strapping and haul-away
  • Repairs: pilot and burner trouble, thermocouples, gas valves, anode rods and leaks at fittings
  • Flushes and tune-ups to keep sediment down

Why plumbers pick it

Bradford White gas tanks use a sealed combustion chamber design and the parts are easy to get through supply houses in the Bay Area. When something fails years down the road, that parts access is what turns a replacement into a same-day repair.

Why East Bay homeowners call us

  • Our own licensed plumbers do the work, not subcontractors
  • Family-owned in Hayward since 2006
  • Free estimates and a written price before work starts
  • Five-year warranty on our workmanship
  • Open 24 hours, 7 days a week

We install and service Bradford White products. Friendly Services is an independent plumbing company; brand names belong to their owners.

Bradford White questions

Can I buy a Bradford White water heater at Home Depot or Lowe's?

No. Bradford White sells through plumbing wholesalers, so you get one through a plumber. We supply the unit and install it in one visit.

How long does a Bradford White tank last?

Most tanks last 8 to 12 years. Hard water and skipped flushes shorten that; a yearly flush helps it reach the long end.

Do you repair Bradford White water heaters, or only replace them?

Both. If the tank itself is sound, we fix the part that failed. If the tank is leaking, replacement is the only real fix and we'll say so.

Is the permit included in your installed price?

Yes. Our installed price includes the permit where one is required, seismic strapping, and hauling away the old tank.

Questions first?

Not sure what you need?

Call and describe your setup. If you don't need to replace it yet, we'll tell you that.
