Which brand should you choose?
The honest answer: any major brand, correctly sized and well installed on clean, inhibited water, will serve you — installation quality decides more outcomes than badges do. The differences sit at the margins that matter over a decade: warranty length, parts availability, heat exchanger materials and how forgiving each is of neglect. Our brand comparison guide maps the premium, mid-market and value tiers so you can buy the right margin for your situation.
