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.
