We always have plenty of hot water for showers and washing dishes and yet it doesn't overwhelm of the col water when we need that too.

I recently installed the GE® 40 Gallon Tall Electric Water Heater (Model #: GE40T08BAM), and I'm extremely impressed! It consistently delivers a reliable supply of hot water even during peak hours, and its energy efficiency has noticeably lowered my utility bills. The compact, tall design made installation a breeze, fitting perfectly into my limited space. This water heater is a true game-changer for home comfort—highly recommended!

Happy with purchase. I personally had to adjust the temperature as the factory setting was not hot enough

Easy electrical installation! No troubles at all!!
Mimi247m08/23/2024 10:54 PM
the water heater is very good. When the old one broke I was going to have a hard time ordering a new one because the area of the old one was in a very tight space. However the plumber was able to get this one that was tall and narrow, which fit into the tiny space.

Easy installation and worked right away. Heats up the water fast.

We have always purchased GE appliances and have had exceptional service. When it was time for a new water heater, GE was my first choice. However, I could not find any sources near Albany, GA, to purchase a GE water heater. I drove 200 miles to Atlanta to purchase a GE water heater from BrandsMart. We hauled the water heater to our condo in Panama City Beach, FL, and installed. It works great.

Works good once you figure out how to turn up the heat. Now we have lovely hot water
MamaBearPotato07/01/2021 06:29 PM
Brand new install seems very well built and is working great.
matthew197010/30/2025 10:47 PM
Plumber installed it and it looks good. Higher capacity than to old one.
RDH675806/28/2025 07:16 PM
I'm not 100% sure how I feel until the power bill shows up for the first month after install. The heat is comparatively the same as gas just takes alittle longer to reach the upstairs shower.

The brand new GE water heater unit was installed by Ameriflow. Four days later, there was still no hot water. Ameriflow diagnosed a faulty thermostat. I am told their replacing it does not void the 8-year warranty. I would have appreciated being able to contact GE by phone, but I could find no number for GE in the Owner's manual. Hopefully, the new thermostat will have fixed the problem.
MarieSolange07/11/2022 09:05 PM
Water doesn't get really hot unless the adjustments are turned almost all of the way up. So no energy saving here.
tjhowa03/23/2022 04:54 PM
Water heater is building pressure over 140psi at different temperature settings; this is telling me that at least the thermostat is bad. However, GE Customer Service, defying physics principles is saying that the equipment is working properly and that I need to install an expansion tank so the water heater can work properly. This is absurd. Their customer service is terrible; they do not listen and just follow a script. If you ask too much questions they rise their voice and keep not listening.
