Expert Review
When a 40-gallon gas tank fails in a Garden City, Hicksville, or Levittown ranch, this is the unit we install most. The Performance 40 is a true direct swap — atmospheric vent, standard 3" gas connection, 70 GPH first-hour rating handles a 3-bedroom home. Reliable, affordable, and parts are stocked locally.
