There is the kids’ bath, the dishwasher, the washing machine, sometimes a large freestanding tub that empties a small tank in minutes. The \u003cstrong\u003eBradford White RE280T6-1NCWW electric water heater\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for that pace. Its tank holds \u003cstrong\u003e76 US gallons (63 imperial gallons, or 288 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e and its \u003cstrong\u003efirst-hour rating\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches \u003cstrong\u003e75 gallons (284 L)\u003c\/strong\u003e, according to the manufacturer’s sheet. AirGreen installs it in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e, most often to replace a tank that has become too small for the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an electric tank water heater in the classic sense: no compressor, no touchscreen, no moving parts. Two 4,500 W immersion elements, a tank lined with Vitraglas with Microban and fittings ready to connect. Its value lies in its volume, its construction and how simple it is to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the RE280T6-1NCWW is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is aimed at households that run short of hot water with a standard tank. You find it in multigenerational homes, where grandparents, parents and teenagers share the same supply, in homes with a deep soaking tub or a multi-jet shower, and in families that run several hot-water laundry loads on the same day. A family of five or six taking showers one after another in the morning is a typical example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, for a couple in a condo or a small house, a tank this size would keep a lot of water hot for no reason. During the assessment, we look at the number of bathrooms, the appliances that run at the same time and your habits before confirming that this format truly suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow this water heater produces hot water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold water from the city supply enters at the bottom of the tank and hot water is drawn from the top. The RE280T6-1NCWW ships \u003cstrong\u003ewired for non-simultaneous operation\u003c\/strong\u003e: only one of its two elements heats at a time. The upper element first restores hot water at the top of the tank, where it is drawn, then the lower element takes over to heat the rest of the volume. This mode limits the current draw to one element at a time, which matches the usual supply of a residential water heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBradford White states that simultaneous operation, where both elements heat at the same time, is also available. It must, however, be specified when ordering, and it requires a matching electrical supply. For most homes, the factory wiring is the right choice; we only discuss it with you if your use justifies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 US gallons \/ 63 imperial gallons \/ 288 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-hour rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 gallons (284 L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecovery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 US GPH (18 imperial GPH) at a 90 °F rise, or 79 L\/h at a 50 °C rise, in non-simultaneous 4,500 W \/ 4,500 W operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElements:\u003c\/strong\u003e two 4,500 W screw-in immersion elements, factory-wired non-simultaneous, single phase, 240 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandby loss:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitraglas with Microban\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater and electrical connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 in (19 mm) NPT, with factory-installed dielectric fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 183 lb (83 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eListing:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL listed model; approved for manufactured homes, with installation to CAN\/CSA Z240 MH series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat these figures mean day to day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efirst-hour rating\u003c\/strong\u003e shows how much hot water the unit can deliver during one hour of heavy use, starting from a full, hot tank. With 75 gallons, several showers in a row, the dishwasher and a load of laundry can follow one another without the last person ending up under lukewarm water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecovery\u003c\/strong\u003e describes what happens once the reserve is drawn down: the heater reheats about 21 US gallons per hour when the water must gain 90 °F. In Quebec, city water arrives colder in winter than in summer. The rise to deliver is therefore larger in January and the real recovery a little slower. That is exactly where a large tank makes the difference: the reserve absorbs the peaks while the elements catch up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003estandby loss\u003c\/strong\u003e of 84 W is the heat the tank loses continuously when no one is using hot water. It is the manufacturer’s measurement; it allows an objective comparison between tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA protected interior and elements that are easy to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is lined with \u003cstrong\u003eVitraglas with Microban\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lining Bradford White applies to the inner steel to protect it from the water. As in any lined steel tank, a sacrificial anode works alongside the lining; its condition is checked during maintenance, especially when the water is hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elements are \u003cstrong\u003escrew-in type\u003c\/strong\u003e. The day one of them stops working, it can be replaced on its own after partially draining the tank, without changing the unit. For a water heater that must last many years, this ease of service matters as much as capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVoltage choice and electrical supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model is factory-wired for \u003cstrong\u003e240 V single phase\u003c\/strong\u003e, the usual supply for a residential water heater in Quebec. Bradford White also offers 120 V, 208 V, 277 V and 480 V versions; the 120 V and 277 V versions can only be wired for single-phase operation. These variants are mainly intended for specific buildings and are ordered in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the installation, we check the breaker, the wire gauge and the condition of the circuit that fed your old tank. AirGreen’s RBQ licence covers electrical work: if a correction is needed, it is part of the same written quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparing the basement location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 76 US gallon tank weighs 183 lb empty and much more once filled. It must sit on a level concrete floor or a solid base, ideally in a drain pan connected to a floor drain. We also check the path down the stairs and through door frames, as well as the free space in front of the element panel for future service. The exact jacket dimensions are confirmed with the order sheet and compared with our on-site measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your water entrance has a check valve or a pressure-reducing valve, heated water can no longer expand back toward the city supply. A thermal expansion tank is then recommended; we include it in the quote when that is the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer’s warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RE280T6-1NCWW is covered by a \u003cstrong\u003e6-year limited tank warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e6-year limited parts warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A few minutes of checking avoids many leaks in the basement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation of the Bradford White RE280T6-1NCWW by AirGreen in Greater Montreal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in Montreal and active in heating, ventilation and air conditioning for more than fifteen years.
