First post guys. I was browsing the Internet and came across this site. Looked like a good place I could cry on someone's shoulder
Built my home in 1996. Richmond 40 gal installed at the time. Lasted around 7 years and just would not produce much hot water. Bought a 6 year Richmond at ******* model 5V40-7 on 3/29/03 (Made 1/2003). Installed two weeks later (Around 4/11/03).
Came home for lunch Monday and there was water everywhere. The wonderful Richmond water heater had water gushing out the top. Piece of crap ruined 4 rooms in my home. MetLife sent a crew out to dry out my home. They had to rip up all my laminate floors and vinyl. I had a Bradford White 50 gal installed today. Hopefully, this will be a good unit.
PS... If you ever have a new home built don't let the builder put a water heater in your house. THEY BELONG IN THE GARAGE
Thanks for letting me vent!
