Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Not quite perfect

MarieSolange 7/11/2022

The brand new GE water heater unit was installed by Ameriflow. Four days later, there was still no hot water. Ameriflow diagnosed a faulty thermostat. I am told their replacing it does not void the 8-year warranty. I would have appreciated being able to contact GE by phone, but I could find no number for GE in the Owner's manual. Hopefully, the new thermostat will have fixed the problem.

Not great

Water doesn't get really hot unless the adjustments are turned almost all of the way up. So no energy saving here.
