BRADFORD WHITE RE250T6-1NCPP Electric Water Heater (47 gallons) | Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, South Shore & North Shore

A reliable 47 US gallon tank for rental units and plexes in Greater Montreal

In a duplex, a triplex or a small apartment building, each unit often has its own water heater. For the owner, a tank that gives out on a Saturday night means a tenant without hot water, possible water damage and an emergency call. The Bradford White RE250T6-1NCPP electric water heater is a solid choice for these replacements: a reserve of 47 US gallons (39 imperial gallons, 178 L), a tank protected by the Vitraglas with Microban lining and a 6-year limited warranty on the tank and on parts. AirGreen installs it in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the South Shore and on the North Shore.

The water heater of a plex apartment

A five- or six-room apartment occupied by a family calls for a family-size reserve. With its 178 L, the RE250T6-1NCPP covers the everyday needs of a household of three or four, without the bulk of a large tank that would crowd the unit's closet or laundry room. Empty, it weighs 130 lb (59 kg), a weight that is easy to manoeuvre on the indoor staircases and narrow hallways typical of Montreal plexes.

Planning replacements in a building

When several units were equipped at the same time, their water heaters age together. Rather than waiting for failures one by one, many owners prefer to plan the replacements: one unit at a change of tenant, another during a renovation, starting with the oldest tanks. We can tour the building, note the age and condition of each unit, and propose a realistic schedule in a single written quote.

A 63 W standby loss

Standby loss indicates the heat the tank loses on average when it is not being used. For the RE250T6-1NCPP, Bradford White publishes 63 W. In an apartment where hot water is used mostly in the morning and evening, this value determines how often the elements must restart during the day. When the tank is installed in an unheated closet or near an outside wall, we insulate the accessible hot water piping to limit losses.

A unit that is simple to maintain

For an owner, simplicity matters. The immersion elements of the RE250T6-1NCPP screw into the tank: a burnt-out element is replaced in a short visit, without changing the tank. The factory-installed dielectric fittings limit corrosion between the steel of the tank and the copper of the plumbing, a frequent cause of leaks at the fittings in older buildings. The Vitraglas with Microban lining protects the inside of the tank.

Protecting the unit below

In a plex, the water heater of an upper unit sits directly above another apartment. A leak, even a slow one, can then damage a ceiling and disturb two households at once. During the replacement, we install the tank on a drain pan when space allows, route the relief valve line to a safe discharge point and check the condition of the shut-off valves. These precautions are easy to include at installation time and avoid many claims later on.

Electrical supply in plexes

In a plex, each water heater is usually connected to the panel of the unit it serves, through a two-pole 240 V circuit. Some older panels have limited capacity; the default non-simultaneous configuration, where only one element heats at a time, helps keep demand reasonable. The exact element wattage of the unit ordered is confirmed with the order and written in the quote, and we check the breaker and conductors of each unit before installation.

Manufacturer's warranty

The RE250T6-1NCPP is covered by a 6-year limited warranty on the tank and 6 years on parts. For each unit, we give you the invoice and the serial number of the installed tank, which simplifies warranty follow-up in a building.

• filling, purging air at the taps, powering up and setting the temperature;
• maintenance recommendations: annual partial flush, relief valve test, anode inspection.

Coordinating with your tenants

A water heater replacement leaves the unit without hot water for only a few hours. We agree on a time slot with you, you can notify your tenants in advance, and we leave the premises clean. If several units are involved, we do them one after the other to limit trips and disruption.
