Comment on Titan Water Heater by Dan

I have purchased 20 plus of these units for my customers believing in their reliability and customer satisfaction.
I now have a DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
If you have a problem with your Titan water heater you must bring it to the manufacturer to be repaired or replaced. This is unacceptable when your customers have to do without hot water for a whole day or more. Furthermore after repeated conversations with the place of purchase,
Ace Hardware in this case, they assume no responsibility or warranty on behalf of the manufacturer. The manufacturer will repair or replace the unit at your expense and valuable time.
I myself will never purchase or recommend another Titan hot water heater as long as I am in business and will spread the word to all my colleages to do the same. there are many different types and styles to chose from. Titan will no longer be mine!

I have been very satisfied with my 1212; in the 2+ years I have had it, it’s given consistently evenly heated water, runs reliably, and was reasonably priced. Very pleased.

Model ES650DOLS installed 11/18/08. Thermostat failed rather quickly and was repaired at no cost to me. Then in February, 2010, I had to pay to have heating element replaced. Now, less than two years later (December 2011), not enough hot water for a decent shower. I will call for service tomorrow, but I suspect another heating element needs to be replaced.

I purchased a Richmond (Rheem) water heater at Menards (model 6G50-38F1) and it stopped working after 1 year and 8 months. After dropping off the water heater at Menards I noticed another identical heater also was returned. This lead me to believe it was a trend. After finding this website and others, I realized that Richmond Rheem water heaters are poorly made. Menards would not give me a partial refund of the warranty nor would Arlene Krueger manager of Guest Services at the Menards Headquarters. While Rheem rides on the American made reputation and craftsmanship of years ago, their water heaters certainly fall short of that today.

If you are interested in buying a Richmond Rheem from Menards I would strongly advise in not doing so. I have since bought “State” water heater made in the USA and I am quite pleased.

I DO NOT recommend this hot water heater. We have had it for one week and have nothing but problems. The first day the water was so hot it would have burned you very badly. The next day no hot water at all. After a week of reseting the the reset button, we went back to where we purchased it. They told us it was probably a bad thermostat. They gave us the part because it is covered under the parts warranty. But we will have to pay to get it fixed after paying to have it installed already.
DON”T BUY THIS JUNK !!! Unless you like taking cold showers.

Had 2 Units installed 6 years ago. Both are rusted, and have to be garbaged, no support.
This appears to be more Junk for top dollar. When I discussed the “sorry no warranty” with my installer, this is what I was comforted in knowing… “they don’t make things like they used to”.

Do NOT buy State or AO Smith water heaters. They are poorly built and are backed by possibly the worst customer service in any industry. After only 3 weeks of ownership, a State water heater gave out. Customer service would not believe that it did not work. Then they refused to pay for the repairs to the unit. Then 4 weeks later it began to leak. $1200 thrown out at only 2 months old. AO Smith and State are horrible – ABSOLUTE JUNK!

I just replaced a 2 year old Richmond water heater. I purchased the original at Mernards.This heater went out on a Friday evening and I replaced it Saturday morning before calling Richmond’s hot line. I called them about the warranty on the old one and they said the warranty was void because I replaced it without calling them first. The tech on the line gave me every excuse in the book for not replacing it including telling me I needed and overpressure tank in the line. Why did I not need one for the other tank I replaced 2 years ago? The tank inside is made so light that the intake and outlet were warped. Like a prior comment said RUN AWAY from this brand
