Bradford White Hot Water Tank Installation 50-Gallon Power Vent

Upgrade your home’s comfort with the Bradford White Atmospheric Vent Series, featuring the RG240T6N (40-gallon) and RG250S6N (50-gallon) models. Engineered for consistency, safety, and long-term durability, these natural gas water heaters are the ideal "no-hassle" replacement for homes with existing conventional tanks and chimney venting. Because this series relies on a purely mechanical design and natural draft, it operates silently without the need for electricity for ignition or flue venting, ensuring your hot water keeps running even during power outages. Designed to provide a reliable, high-capacity solution that fits seamlessly into your existing gas piping and plumbing setup.

Installed professionally by 4Most Energy’s certified Bradford White technicians.

Warranty: 6-Year Limited Tank & Parts Warranty, and Up to 10-Year Extended Labour Warranty.

Sizing Guide: Which Model is Right for You?

  • The 40-Gallon (RG240T6N): Best for standard households with 1–2 bathrooms and moderate usage. Its slimmer 20" diameter makes it ideal for older Ontario homes with limited basement space.

  • The 50-Gallon (RG250S6N): Recommended for larger families or homes with high-flow fixtures. The higher 50,000 BTU input allows it to recover hot water faster during peak morning hours.

Why Bradford White is Built for Canadian Winters

The harsh winter climate in Southern Ontario places extreme demand on your water heater. Understanding local conditions explains why the 90°F (50°C) recovery rate is the most critical metric for homeowners in the GTA.

  • Frigid Groundwater Temperatures: During Toronto winters (January–March), incoming municipal water temperatures drop to near freezing, often as low as 37°F - 41°F (3°C - 5°C). Standard water heaters struggle to keep up with this "thermal shock."

  • High Temperature Rise Required: To reach a comfortable shower temperature of 105°F, your water heater must raise the water temperature by roughly 65°F. To reach a safe tank storage temperature of 120°F (essential to prevent bacteria growth), the unit must achieve a massive 80°F+ rise efficiently.

Real-World Impact on Performance:

  • Winter (Heavy Load): The 43–54 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) rating at a 90°F rise represents this series' true performance during frigid months. The high-output burner works harder to warm the near-freezing water entering your home, ensuring consistent hot water when you need it most.

  • Summer (Light Load): In warmer months, the recovery rate increases significantly because groundwater is naturally warmer (approx. 60°F+). The unit uses less energy to heat, maximizing efficiency.

Local Expert Tip: For Toronto homes with 3+ people, we recommend the 50-Gallon RG250S6N model to buffer against the high demand of winter mornings and frigid intake temperatures.

The 4Most Energy Hot Water Tank Installation Process

Process Step

Details

1. Home & System Check

We perform a demand assessment to confirm whether the RG1PV40S6N or RG1PV50S6N is the right fit for your household size and peak usage.

2. Removal of Old Equipment

We safely drain, disconnect, and remove your old water heater, handling all disposal and recycling of the old unit.

3. Positioning & Preparation

Includes professional area preparation, leveling of the new tank, and verification of required service clearances.

4. Gas & Venting

We install new System 636 venting (critical for Power Vent models), connect gas lines, and ensure proper slope for exhaust safety.

5. Water Piping Connections

We professionally pipe your cold water inlet and hot water outlet, installing dielectric unions and mixing valves where required or requested.

6. Full Testing & Commissioning

We perform gas and water leak checks, verify blower operation, check ignition, and calibrate the tank temperature settings.

7. Cleanup & Training

We leave the work area spotless, provide homeowner training on the Honeywell LED controller, and register your warranty.

Comprehensive Warranty & Low-Maintenance Ownership

Owning your water heater with 4Most Energy means you are protected by industry-leading coverage and a design that requires minimal attention.

Double-Layered Warranty Protection

  • 6-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Bradford White covers both the Vitraglas®-lined tank and all component parts for 6 years against leakage or malfunction.

  • 1-Year 4Most Labour Warranty: We stand behind our installation. If you experience any issues in the first year, our TSSA-certified technicians will resolve them at no labor cost to you.

Premium Extended Coverage (Ask Our Sales Team!)

Take your peace of mind to the next level with our exclusive service add-ons:

  • Extended Labor Warranty (Up to 10 Years): Protect your investment for a full decade. Ask our sales team how you can extend your labor coverage up to 10 years, ensuring long-term savings and zero surprise repair bills.

  • Maintenance Plans Available: Keep your unit running at peak efficiency year after year. Ask about our scheduled maintenance packages to extend the life of your water heater.

  • 24/7 Emergency Service: Our team is on standby around the clock. An emergency service call is always available when you need it most.

Low-Maintenance by Design

  • Self-Cleaning Tank: The built-in Hydrojet® Total Performance System creates turbulent water flow to prevent sediment and lime from settling. This keeps your tank clean and efficiency high without constant manual flushing.

  • Maintenance-Free Safety: The Defender Safety System® (ScreenLok® Technology) is engineered to be maintenance-free under normal conditions, resisting dust and lint accumulation.

Critical Winter Maintenance Tip

Keep Your Vents Clear: Since the RG1PV series is a Power Vent model, it exhausts gas horizontally through your wall. During heavy Toronto snowfalls, ensure the exterior white PVC pipes are kept clear of snow drifts and ice buildup to prevent the unit from shutting down for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions Bradford White Atmospheric Vented Tank Water Heater

Yes! Because these models use a millivolt thermopile to generate their own electricity from the pilot light, they do not require a plug-in outlet.

Atmospheric tanks (like these) vent naturally up a chimney. Power Vent tanks use a motor to push air out a side wall. If you have a chimney, these models are often the most cost-effective and reliable choice.

While the Hydrojet® system helps reduce sediment, Ontario's hard water can still be tough on tanks. A softener will extend the life of any water heater, but it is not required for installation.

If your home currently has a conventional tank that vents into a chimney or a vertical B-vent, these models are the perfect drop-in replacement. Our technicians will verify your vent diameter (3" or 4") to ensure your new Bradford White unit drafts safely and meets Ontario building codes.

With professional installation by 4Most Energy and regular maintenance (such as inspecting the anode rod), a Bradford White RG240 or RG250 typically lasts between 10–15 years. The Vitraglas® lining and Hydrojet® system are specifically designed to combat the internal corrosion often seen with Southern Ontario’s municipal water.
