Not Sure Which Water Heater Is Best For You?
One of our plumbing technicians will walk you through your best options based on your needs
Gas Water Heater Replacement
Gas water heaters are often the most common type of hot water heater, as well as the most cost-effective in terms of energy efficiency. This type of water heater has been around since the late 1800s and has existed for decades in a similar form. These water heaters are created by gas electricity and air to produce a flame that heats another metal coil. The coil is then in contact with either piping or containers with an increased volume of liquid, which transfers energy from the coil and produces hot water.
The Pros of gas water heaters are as follows:
– there is no need to mess with the thermostat
– the heater does not get as hot as an electric one
– they can last up to 12 years or more
– installation is easy as long as you have a working pressure and water supply in your house, since it doesn’t need electric to function
– it heats up very rapidly
The Cons of gas water heaters are as follows:
– heating them requires natural gas or oil, which can be expensive depending on where you live in Stockton/San Joaquin County and how much you use; this is less of an issue for people who use natural gas for cooking and heating, however
– they are less efficient
Electric Water Heater Replacement
An electric water heater is a heat pump appliance that provides heated water for bathing, laundering, cooking, dish-washing, and other domestic uses. An electric water heater is usually in the garage or basement, and typically costs less to purchase and install than an identical capacity gas water heater.
Pros:
– Slow power outages do not affect the water temperature
– Can be more energy efficient than gas water heaters, as electric water heaters can maintain an exact and constant temperature regardless of demand.
– There is a lower chance of getting scalded from hot water
Cons:
– An Electric water heater has a higher cost to buy and maintain over fuel water heaters in the long term.
– An Electric Water Heater is not as durable, because it relies on weak plastic tubes to carry hot water throughout your house. They freeze easily due to the nature of the material they are made from, which means you need more insulation for your pipes, and if you don’t have that then you’ll have to deal

Traditional Tank Water Heater Replacement
Tank water heaters use hot water that is stored in a tank to keep it heated. They can be installed inside or outside of the house where more than one family lives, and be easily moved from place to place. Tank Water Heaters are less expensive than tankless water heaters, and provide enough hot water for larger families. There are some drawbacks to regular tank water heaters- they cannot be installed in regions where the water is cold due to climate, they emit fumes, and require manual cleaning if not self-cleaning. Regular tanked water heating tanks take up more space than a single family would need, but they provide more hot water for large families.
Pros of a Tank Water Heater:
-Tank water heaters are less expensive to install and use than tankless water heaters.
-Large capacity tanks provide more hot water than regular tanks.
-Tank heating is easier to use in regions where the water can be cooler due to climate.
-Tank water heaters are portable and can be easily installed outside of the house or apartment. They are also recommended for renters since they are easy to move from place to place.
-Tank water heaters usually have a warranty that covers parts for up to one year after the purchase date, and a warranty that covers labor from five years after the purchase date.
Cons of Regular Tank Water Heaters:
-Tank Water heaters that use gas or oil can emit fumes.
-The tank water heating will have to be drained and cleaned manually by a professional if the tank is not already self-cleaning.
-Water tanks are large and heavy, making them difficult to move from place to place. Water tanks also take up a lot of space in an apartment or house.
-Heating water with a tank takes a long time, about 20 minutes to heat the water from 40 degrees Farenheit to 120 degrees Farenheit. The more people in the house, and the longer they use hot water, the longer it will take for the water to heat up.
Tankless Water Heater Replacement
Tankless water heaters (also called on-demand water heaters) are a type of water heater. Tankless water heaters are a major innovation in the plumbing industry, but they do have some drawbacks. Tankless water heaters use 30% less energy than a standard boiler, which saves both money and the environment.
They can only be used in a home if it has an individual hot water line for the particular appliance, which is usually installed when the house is built. They are also more expensive to operate than traditional tankless gas water heaters. Water can be heated instantly by running hot water through the unit, and does not have to sit in a storage tank until the hot water is used. Water temperature is controlled by an adjustable thermostat, which can be set to provide either slower heating (when less than full) or instantaneous heating of water at all times.
Pros:
– Tankless water heaters can be installed in any room of the house, so the amount of plumbing work will depend on where they’re being installed.
– The plumbing work is also not as extensive because there are no pipes needed for a water heater in most cases.
– Tankless water heaters are much more energy efficient than traditional ones because they use far less electricity when they’re being used.
– They’re smaller than a typical storage tank and have no moving parts that might break down, like pumps or valves, making them more durable and easier to fix if anything were to go wrong.
– Water that comes from them is much hotter than a traditional storage tank, which means there’s less need for users of the water to use hot water heaters in their own homes.
– Water flow is not decreased as it is with traditional ones because these tankless water heaters will deliver as much water as needed through the home at one time.
– Water tank capacity is larger and more consistent because there are no storage tanks that need to be refilled with hot water whenever they’re used.
Cons:
– A typical tankless water heater will cost more than a traditional storage tank because they’re smaller and tend to be better quality.
– They’re also slightly noisier than a traditional storage tank, which might not be ideal for everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Water Heater Service Questions We Hear
Is Regular Water Heater Maintenance Necessary?
Water heater maintenance is important for a number of reasons. One reason is because it can save you money – even if your water heater needs to be replaced, preventive maintenance will help prolong the life of the unit so you get more years out of it. Keeping your water heater maintained also reduces heat loss, which saves energy and helps lower your monthly utility bills.
There are many tips for how to take care of your water heater and maintain its quality. It’s always smart to keep an eye on the temperature setting and make sure that it’s not too high since this causes unnecessary wear and tear on the machine; also check the surrounding area for leaks, which could have caused a gas or electric odor or unusual sounds coming from the machine. Proper water heater maintenance includes checking the condition of the anode rod every few months, and replacing it if necessary. Anodes are installed to prevent corrosion damage on your water heater; when they wear out, this means that the water in your tank is corroding and it’s time for a replacement.
What to Consider Before Hot Water Heater Replacement?
Water heaters typically last from 8 to 12 years. When the hot water heater has reached the end of its useful lifespan, homeowners are faced with the decision to repair or replace. The biggest consideration when deciding whether or not to fix your current hot water heater is the cost. If your current water heater is working but making strange noises, this may be a sign that it needs to be replaced soon (be sure to check if it is under warranty). Other indicators that a new hot water tank may be in order are corrosion on the heating element and sediment buildup around the bottom of the tank.
When making a final decision be sure to consult with professionals for advice to help you make an informed decision. Our Stockton water heater experts are well versed in water heater repair and replacement, so it never hurts to ask for their advice. We will be able to give you information on the cost of repairing or replacing your existing hot water tank, and can also provide you with helpful tips on how to extend the life of your water heater or prevent future problems.
