Protection beyond factory defects

Heating elements & burners
An electric heating element that burns out or a gas burner, we help cover the components that keep the heat flowing.

Thermostats & control systems
Modern water heaters rely on thermostats, sensors, gas control valves, and electronic control boards to maintain the right temperature. When those components fail, you can count on us.

Flow sensor & ignition failures
Tankless water heaters rely on flow sensors and ignition systems to deliver hot water on demand. When those components fail, we've got you covered.

Electronic control board failures
When your water heater won't respond, displays error codes, or stops heating altogether, a failed control board could be the reason. With SureBright, all is covered.

Power surge protection
Today's water heaters contain more electronics than ever before. A power surge can damage those systems in seconds. Covered.

Repaired, replaced, or reimbursed
If your water heater can't be repaired economically, we'll repair, replace, or reimburse it according to your plan.

The numbers that matter
- New water heater
- $880 - $1,800
- Gas control valve replacement
- $150 - $550
- Heating element replacement
- $200 - $300
- Thermostat replacement
- $150 - $200
A SureBright Anywhere protection plan is almost always cheaper than the next repair bill.

Your water heater warranty questions, answered
Does the warranty cover both tank and tankless water heaters?
Yes. SureBright Protection Plans are available for eligible gas, electric, tankless, heat pump, and point-of-use water heaters from many leading brands, provided the product is eligible at the time of purchase.
My water heater stopped heating water. Is that covered?
Usually, yes. If your water heater stops heating because of a mechanical or electrical breakdown, such as a failed heating element, thermostat, gas control valve, igniter, or electronic control board, your SureBright Protection Plan helps cover eligible repairs.
Can I buy a water heater warranty after it's installed?
Yes. You have 90 days after purchase or installation to add a SureBright Protection Plan. Just keep your proof of purchase or installation handy.
Does the warranty cover water heater leaks?
It depends on the source of the leak. If a failed internal valve, fitting, or other covered component causes the leak, it may be covered. Leaks caused by tank corrosion, plumbing connections, or installation issues aren't covered, and damage to your home from the leak isn't covered under the plan.
Is a water heater protection plan worth it?
Considering that a single repair like a heat exchanger replacement or gas control valve repair can cost hundreds of dollars, and a replacement can cost several thousand, a protection plan often pays for itself with one covered claim.
Does the warranty cover Rheem, A. O. Smith, Rinnai, Navien, Bradford White, and Bosch water heaters?
Yes. SureBright Anywhere covers eligible water heaters from all major manufacturers, including Rheem, A. O. Smith, Rinnai, Navien, Bradford White, Bosch, Noritz, State, GE, Whirlpool, and many others.
What happens if my water heater can't be repaired?
If repairing your water heater isn't practical or economical, SureBright Anywhere will provide a comparable replacement or reimburse you up to your plan's coverage limit.
Can I protect a water heater purchased from Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco, or a local installer?
Absolutely. SureBright Anywhere covers eligible water heaters purchased from any U.S. retailer or professional installer.
What's the difference between the manufacturer's warranty and SureBright Anywhere?
Manufacturer warranties generally cover factory defects for a limited period. SureBright Anywhere continues protecting your water heater against eligible mechanical and electrical failures after the manufacturer's coverage ends.
What's not covered under the plan?
Standard exclusions include normal wear (like slow anode rod deterioration over years), maintenance-related issues (like sediment buildup from skipped flushes), damage from improper installation, and cosmetic damage. Mechanical and electrical failures, including wear-related component failures, are covered.
