What are the differences between gas and electric water heaters. There is more to it than just the difference in energy source. An informed choice of water heater type involves some research and planning to balance cost, safety concerns, and hot water needs.

Another consideration is speed of delivery, especially if you have a large family and require lots of hot water quickly and frequently. Although a system of either type can meet your needs, the fact is that gas is faster, at least for a tank type water heater. If you choose to go tankless, an electric model can deliver very quickly and meet your hot water needs comfortably.

No matter whether you are replacing an existing system with the same type, or changing styles completely, remember that all water heaters need to be installed by a qualified professional heating and plumbing expert. When considering the installation of a water heater, call your local plumbing company for help. A trained and experienced professional will know what to recommend for your needs. The expert plumber can then install the system of your choice safely to provide a reliable supply of hot water for your family’s needs.
