Cheapest place to get a hot water tank?

The store over here in okc is great, im there 2-3 times a week at least(for work). We buy enough stuff there i have gotten to know the guy who runs the sales there and if i ever need something i get it at the same price as my work does which is cost + 7%

Prophet , why dont you get with the OP and get him the hookups since you guys are close?

I dont do HVAC any more i do sheet metal and custom fab. metal work now and my post was referring to the lamptons in okc, but if your going to go to locke supply go to the one on 240, those guys will treat you right and help you get everything you need.

Locke's off of 38th, west of MacArthur is the best place to buy a decent water heater.
Bradford White are good water heaters and will last quite a while.
A State Water Heater is the best but I'm not sure where you can buy one unless you are a contractor.

In all my Internet detective work, Bradford White is the standout. My local Locke Supply sells a good, medium-sized model for $300, same price as the bad deals at big box stores.

There's a place between MacArthur and Meridian on Reno that's called Dent & Ding Appliances. They probably have some good deals.

Theres a class action suit against them cause of their flame out system.

thats been going on for 5+ years i told them we (plumbers) couldve told them 6 or 7 years ago they were having issues but they are turds on the phone, they dont give a crap about customer service....

act like you are a licensed plumber and they will treat you like one.
act like you are a retail customer... guess what they treat you like one with higher prices.

it dont work that way with locke, winnelson, ferguson,ect(plumbing supply stores)... you have to have a account with them to get your "plumber prices"...acting dont work when it comes to getting "contractor pricing"...

They dont have to provide good customer service . They are dealing with the big box stores and selling thousands of units. Why would they care what you or I think about their products?

 

[tm8634]

cause if you dont as any company (no matter how big or small) your customer service (standing behind your product or service) or lack of will affect your sale of your product or service...they still have to make a sale...

Go tankless! While renovating our current house, we opted for tank-less instead of a tank style water heater. It's cheaper to run and takes up a WHOLE lot less space. We are using a Bosch and love it.
