I am looking to replace my existing water heater with a new Rheem or Bradford White residential gas water heater. The pipes into and out of my water heater are all polybutylene piping and 20 yrs old. I am concerned that I going to get a guy how really doesn't know how to work with polybutylene piping; especially since, most of the people offering hot water service appear to be heating companies.
Could you recommend how i can determine (if at all possible) if the person has the expertise to work with polybutylene piping?
I would also like to know if Rheem or Bradford White offer hot water tanks with 12 yr warrantees? I looking to install a 12-yr because I am thinking that my out-of-pocket cost will be less than two 6 yr or two 8 yr models.
Cheers
