My old gas water heater model ttw-1 from bradford-white gave up after 12 years of service. I need new one ASAP but I have trouble finding similar model in stores (Home-Depot, SEARS)
The old heater was automatic. It was plugged in AC and whenever the water temperature goes below worm it turned itself on. I see bunch of heaters in stores , but every one hes ‘ignition button’ which has to be pushed in order for heater to start. What model I should look for. The old one was 40gal 40K btu and short (~53")
AC explanation:
the heater is one with power vent, so it is needed for a turbine. Now I understand more about the heather technology. I could ot the original one soon, so I had to buy GE with similar characteristics.
Thanks everybody for answers

The ignition button is just used to light it initially (or re-light it if it goes out.) The old ones you had to light with a match. What would really be nice is to have one that didn’t have a pilot light and ignited electronically, but I wasn’t able to find anyone that made those. That would save using gas to keep the pilot light going all the time.
The ones at Home Depot and such will do you fine.
Tankless is an excellent idea if you’re up to doing all your homework. Good luck.
You should consider the tankless models, they use less energy.
WHY WOULD YOUR GAS WATER HEATER HAVE AN ac PLUG IN? depending where you live Rheem makes a great solar heater that actually works well!
the ignition button is to light the pilot light after that it works on its own you don’t have to touch it. when the temp gets too low it will light automaticly and heat your water
forget the electronic ignition. The gas you use probably costs less than $5.00 per year for the pilot. Buy any gas water heater that you want. Since this is an item that you don’t have to light regularly, Don;t worry about the AC. Gas heaters do not need AC to operate. The pilot uses so little gas over the year being lit anyway.It will still turn on when needed.

Don’t exactly understand why you’d have to plug in a water heater ~
in a normal heater selection, we always go by BTU’s. most people get distracted by the gallonage. i estimate by figuring 15,000/adult in house.
if you had no problems for this long with 40,000 BTU’s, then stay with that figure.
