I need to change my gas-fired hot water tank - are there recommended/not-recommended brands anybody can suggest? Thanks.

Bradford-White is usually considered to be top of the line by professional plumbers. Unfortunately it is usually only available to professional plumbers.

Rheem or Ruud (same company) is considered almost as good as the Bradford-White. The GE sold by the orange big box mega homecenter is made by Rheem and is also a good water heater.

Whirlpool is the dog of all water heaters. :thumbdn:
