Benefits of Gas Water Heaters vs. Electric

• Lower Costs – Gas water heaters are less expensive to install, and they cost less to operate than electric water heaters.
• Increased Energy Efficiency – Gas water heaters heat water twice as fast as their electric counterparts. This means you get more hot water in less time, while using less energy.
• Reliable Service – Gas outages are less frequent than electric service interruptions, which means your water stays dependably hot.
• Fast Recovery – A gas water heater’s recovery rate can be as high as 50 gallons per hour, compared to about 13 gallons per hour for electric water heaters. Translation: You’ll get hot water faster with a gas model.
• No Need to Upgrade Electric Wiring – If your home doesn’t have 220v wiring for an electric water heater, you’ll need to hire an electrician before you can install an electric water heater.

• Repair your water heater if it is less than 10 years old and has been regularly maintained.
• Replace your water heater if it is more than 10 years old, leaking, or dispensing discolored water.

Gas Water Heater Maintenance

The typical life span of a gas water heater is eight to 13 years. Scheduling regular water heater maintenance service ensures you’ll get the most use out of your water heater investment. Annual gas water heater maintenance usually includes:
