Bradford White 30-Gallon Electric Water Heater

The Bradford White 30-Gallon Electric is the smallest residential electric tank in Bradford White's residential line. Wholesale-only distribution through plumbing supply houses.

Specs: 30 gallons stored, single 4500W heating element (some sub-models dual), UEF 0.93, 39-gallon FHR, 6-year tank and parts warranty. Glass-lined steel tank with Vitraglas lining (Bradford White's proprietary porcelain coating). Magnesium anode rod.

The 30-gallon capacity covers single-person households, vacation cabins, in-law suites with separate water heater. Standard Bradford White differentiators apply: Vitraglas tank lining for longer service life versus retail-channel competitors, heavier construction.

About $1,200 plumber-installed. Warranty requires professional installation per Bradford White policy. Right buyer: single-person primary residence wanting Bradford White quality at small-capacity, or in-law suite addition with separate water heater.

For mainstream 30-gallon electric needs, the retail-channel alternatives (Rheem Performance 30-gal, AO Smith Conservationist Lowboy) serve adequately at lower cost. The Bradford White is positioned for buyers specifically wanting trade-grade quality.
