I have an electric water heater 50 to 60 gallon 110 type Bradford White Corporation with hydrojet system is the name brand on it. I”m pretty sure it’s 110 don’t believe it’s 220 don’t see why it would be for home use. I have changed the elements and thermostats twice, flushed it for sediments, when I flushed it so much came out it clogged and busted the water hose because I turned the water on to it to help aid the flush. It’s twelve years old but it will always have to be reset on the thermostat a lot of the times it keeps kicking off the reset button on the heater itself. It isn’t a breaker problem in the fuse box. Is the heater just wore out should I replace it or is it something else like electrical in the water heater? I’ve tried about everything I know to do on it. When you reset the button it heats water fine. Plenty of water when you shower, but you might have to reset it again right after your shower. I would appreciate any input on this problem thank you very much.

i need to get an idea of what it should reasonably cost to have a hot water heater gas valve installed?
