How old is my BRADFORD WHITE boiler?

1. Find the rating label: On the unit's rating plate; check the product manual for its exact position.
2. Take a photo of the whole label, or note the model and serial numbers.
3. Check it on Appliance Age. It is free, and no account is needed.

On the unit's rating plate; check the product manual for its exact position.

Keep the model, serial and any separate production code or printed date together. Not every serial number contains a publicly decodable date.

Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.

Boilers typically last 15 to 30 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Have it serviced yearly and watch the pressure gauge; frequent topping up points to a leak.
