Reliability
Not published: Reliability, failure rates and each model’s actual warranty term.
The registries these figures come from certify energy performance under a federal test; none of them records how long a unit lasts or how often it fails, so this page does not rank the two on reliability.
What is here instead:
- The filed efficiency, capacity and tank size of both models, side by side above.
- No CPSC recall on file names either model (list checked 2026-09-24).
- Both are ENERGY STAR certified, which requires a manufacturer warranty of at least six years; the actual term for each model is not published.
- Time on the market, as filed with ENERGY STAR: the Bradford White RE2HP65**-1NCTT since 2025-07-16, the GE Profile PH65S10BNY01 since 2025-07-23. A sale date, not a lifespan.
Which should you pick?
- Pick the GE Profile PH65S10BNY01 if running cost matters most: it uses 27 kWh less a year on the same test.
- Pick the Bradford White RE2HP65**-1NCTT if it is the one you can get installed sooner or for less — on the filed figures it has no advantage over the GE Profile PH65S10BNY01.
- Neither if your household's busiest hour needs more than 86 gallons of hot water — neither lists more. Check whether a 65-gallon heater is enough.
