[QUOTE="KOPBET, post: 3576560, member: 4153"] Let me tell you, water heaters are cunning, crafty little bastages. They know when weekends or holidays or freezing cold fronts are coming through. They will lie in wait until the unsuspecting home owner can't get a rapid replacement or a plumber out that's not on OT and BANG! Out they go. My last one was a 19 year old electric and still going strong. But I thought I would R/R the upper heating element as a preventive measure so I went to the big box store and got one to do the job. Unfortunately, the element in the tank had seized threads and wouldn't budge. No how, no way. So rather than tempt fate, I called "the guy" (metaphor for that licensed someone who knows what they are doing) to bring in a new 40 gal. Bradford White tank and bring everything up to code/warranty requirements in the process. This did NOT include a stand BTW. This was last year and cost about $960. [/QUOTE]
