Sealed Combustion. Safe, Efficient Hot Water for Today’s Homes 

If you live in a tightly sealed, energy-efficient home, you need a water heater that’s both safe and smart. Bradford White power direct vent gas water heaters are built exactly for that using a sealed combustion system that pulls in outdoor air for combustion and vents exhaust gases out through a second sealed pipe. This setup keeps indoor air clean and minimizes safety risks. 

  

Whether you're upgrading an outdated unit or installing a system in a new build, these heaters deliver reliable hot water with advanced safety and efficiency - all while meeting today’s stricter building and energy standards. 

How Does a Power Direct Vent Water Heater Work? 

Power direct vent water heaters use a sealed two-pipe system to ensure safe and efficient operation. One pipe pulls in fresh outdoor air for combustion, while the other pipe vents exhaust gases safely outside the home. 

  

A built-in electric fan helps move air through the system, which allows the unit to vent horizontally through a side wall instead of requiring a chimney. This makes installation much easier in basements, closets, or tightly sealed homes where vertical venting isn’t practical. 

  

The sealed design keeps indoor air clean and reduces the risk of backdrafting, making it a great fit for modern, energy-efficient homes. 

Why Choose Bradford White Power Direct Vent Models? 

These water heaters are engineered for modern home designs where traditional venting just isn’t practical. If indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and installation flexibility matter to you, this is the right choice. 

  

Key benefits include: 

  • No use of indoor air, keeping your home’s air cleaner

  • Flexible installation in tight or sealed spaces 
  • Quiet fan operation, ideal for smaller homes 
  • ENERGY STAR® compatibility for rebate eligibility
