    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great company backing The product is good, the company is better. Due to covid and short supplies, we bought 2 of these water heaters early while building our house. They sat for 8 months in storage before being installed, then 3 1/2 months after installation, one of the gas valves failed (for which Honeywell is famous). I called the company, without hesitation, they Fedexed me a new valve which I received the next day. That's great company service! More company's should be like State.

    Date published: 2022-11-14
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to light with electronic starter My first water heater for my home which I built 20 years was a 50 gallon State Water Heater. Now I've had to replaced it. So for 20 years it's never required one moment of maintenance not even to relight the pilot light. The plumber I used for my home was the plumber I contracted for years for multifamily projects. This means he installed easily over 10 thousand water heaters over the years. He recommended the State Water Heater. I'm confident he knows which products are superior. I actually have another low boy Sate Water Heater. I went out 2 years ago. That's 18 years of service. State products are #1 in my book period! Buy one and you'll never regret it.
