Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances 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 appliances 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.

GE makes the BEST!

Tvon5432 10/31/2021

My 15 year old GE water tank randomly broke 2 weeks ago thanks to my old pipes in my historic house. I searched to purchase a new one online but reviews were horrible for the ones at the big department stores. Disappointingly, Home Depot, nor Lowes no longer carries GE electric water tanks, so I came across this 50 gallon GE electric tank on the Total Home Supply Store website for roughly $600. And the best part of it was that I was able to use the service "Affirm" and am paying monthly payments for it until it's paid off. Being a single mother whose financially struggling to keep up, this was literally a god send! My tank was delivered in one week and I had a friend set it up for me. The hardest part was just draining out the old tank, which wasn't hard at all, just time consuming. This new GE tank is actually bigger then my old one too, the connections are so simple that anyone can figure them out. I'm hoping to get a good 10-15 years out of this one. We shall see! Best part of it all though, I finally have HOT water again! Haha. A BIG Thanks to GE for all the reliable appliances you've provided my family throughout the years. Being born and raised in Boston, Mass I can say that GE is a company I feel proud to stand behind and will never purchase a different brand of appliances!

Measure Twice

Mshello 3/11/2021

The Hot Water Heater is really nice works very well. It replaced a 38 year old hot water heater. Make sure you measure the high and the width of the one you are removing. This one is over 5 feet tall and about 24 inches bottom at the widest point. Make sure you measure twice or you may be making a few trips back to the store to get hoses.

Jennva 3/8/2021

So far we love this hot water tank! We are a family of 4 that would constantly be worried about running out of hot water with our old tank. Last night we all took showers back to back and did not run out of hot water. It was such a relief.

Good quality, basic features, less likely to break

noyb51 2/3/2021

It's only been a couple of weeks. It heats water, and it didn't break yet. After that, I don't need or want to think about. Being a basic water heater means no digital displays or wifi stuff or energy saving heat pump added on top to break later. And it's less expensive upfront. Easy do-it-yourself install if it is close to your existing unit dimensions and water pipe locations.

Hot water when you need it!!

GBarb 8/17/2020

I've had this product for a little over a year now and it has met my expectations. I replaced my 40 gallon gas water heater with a 50 gallon GE Appliances electric model to save money on my gas bill. I have a big family and there are times when more than one person needs hot water. This unit has handled it very well.

Never ran out of hot water after installation of this water heater even when we had two or three visitors in addition to my family of four. Three people were able to take nice hot shower simultaneously and followed by another three .
