    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet Operations We just had a new GS6-50-YRVIT gas water heater with power vent installed today. I like the sleek design and quiet operation, along with the short recovery time.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great expectations We purchased this to replace a working A.O. Smith that was 20 years old. This was a preemptive move to get ahead of problems with aging equipment. This is an updated version of the unit we replaced with improved insulation, improved combustion air delivery design and improved safety features. It promises to be slightly more energy efficient. As the A.O. Smith lasted well past the general life expectancy for water heaters, as this is nearly a clone with upgrades, as we are elderly, I fully expect that this unit will provide us with good, reliable service beyond our own life span!

    Date published: 2020-12-02
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product My review is 4-years past installation for which I did myself. I have had only one minor issue where the heater would not turn on and I'm guessing is pretty common. The Air Safety Switch fails to engage when the vacuum tube become block inside the blower housing. Guessing dust builds up over time but simply removing the tube and blowing air into the brass barb freed it up and was back online in minutes. I am not putting down the heater for this, at least I know it works in the even the exhaust pipe ever became blocked. Anyway, this heater runs quite and is pretty efficient. I replaced my homes original State water heater which was 16 years old before it failed.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dependable & Reliable This unit is our 2nd 50-gal State commercial-grade HWH. The 1st started leaking, and after 12-years in use. We have a big family, and when we get together for the holidays, there have been more than enough hot water for everyone, and we live in NE where it gets freezing during Thanksgiving/Christmas. One disappointment, though, is the very short warranty of 6-years, vs. 10, which would be more fare. It makes you wonder if STATE trust this product line.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top of the Line Water Heater The State Water Heater I recently installed has been excellent. My hot water heats up quickly and stays hot as long as I need it.
    Date published: 2020-11-01
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dependable I have just installed this unit to replace an older model State water heater that I installed in my home when it was built 30 years ago. I am expecting this unit to last me at least this long. The serial number of the older unit was G90972483 for your records. This unit never gave me any trouble except for some carbon buildup that caused the pilot flame to be deflected off of the thermal coupling and go out. The tank started leaking about a week before I replaced it but was just dripping enough inside to interfere with the gas jet. So to say the least it has been a very good water heater.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Proven reliability of State Water Heaters We purchased this water heater because we switched from Natural Gas to Propane and the State Water Heater we purchased to replace the unit installed by the builder was performed well and did not need any service. I wish, when I purchased the water heater I had known it could not be converted to propane.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from A real quality Product I had this unit installed yesterday (07/07/2020) and I was impressed with two things -- the apparent quality and performance of the unit and the PROFESSIONALISM of the installer (John Fariss Plumbing from Scottsville, VA) ---- I give both 5 STAR Ratings!!!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works! This replaced a 14 year old Rheem NG power vent model with a more complicated heat selection system. It is much simpler to monitor and adjust. Installation was fairly simple and because the unit is a little shorter and wider than our previous unit , it fits our small utility area better.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blower is Quieter than my old water heater. Just had this installed today. I noticed that the blower is alot quieter than the 15 year old Rheem water heater I had. It appears to be a well made product, but only time will tell. Hopefully it lasts just as long as my old water heater.
    Date published: 2019-11-07
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Nice Product Seems very efficient. The automatic operation is great. Time will tell but hope the control box and unit will last many years without any issues. Very good quality construction. First time I heard of State Heaters. I happened to check with one of my distributors and it was the only brand they sold. I went with it and realized it was a great choice. Thanks

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from My last water heater was a state ,and it lasted 27 years. I hope this one will too. Thank you for making a great hot water heater.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hot water first time every time We replaced our old State water heater with a new version- came online quickly and efficiently. If we hadn’t been more than satisfied with the original, I would replace it with a newer version. The old version was 10 years old and replacement parts would almost be much as a new one. So we opted for the version and am more than pleased
