Gas & Electric Water Heater Repair or Replacement
If we determine that you need gas or electric water heater repair or replacement, we will do everything possible to get the job done that same day. We can help you decide which of the following types of hot water heaters is best for your family's budget, needs, and lifestyle:
- Conventional - A conventional water heater has a storage tank holding 30-60 gallons of water. It heats water with electricity, propane, natural gas, or fuel oil and stores the hot water in the tank until you need it. If you install a high-efficiency conventional water heater, you might lower your water heating costs by up to 7%.
- Tankless - A tankless water heater doesn't store water in a tank. Instead, it uses a heat exchanger to rapidly heat the water on demand, using electricity or natural gas. If you choose to install a tankless water heater, you might see a reduction of up to 30% in your water heating costs.
- Hybrid - A hybrid water heater has a tank but uses an electric heat pump to heat the water. A heat pump transfers warm air from outside the tank to the inside, heating the water through heat transference. Installing a hybrid water heater could save you up to 60% on your water heating costs.
