If you’re ready to invest in a new water heater, you’ll have one important choice to make whether you want a traditional model or a tankless option: gas or electric heating. Both types of hot water heaters are effective for homes in the greater Rathdrum, Idaho area, but gas water heaters function differently from their electric counterparts. The experts at Providence Plumbing have installed and repaired countless gas water heaters over the years, and we’ll be glad to explain the benefits that you may enjoy having at your home.
This type of water heater used to be the standard in homes across the United States. But even with the invention of electric models, gas water heaters are still in high demand and that doesn’t look to be changing anytime soon. Here’s why Providence Plumbing would recommend a gas water heater for your home:
Have you ever gone from cooking on a gas stove to cooking on an electric stovetop? You’ll notice that it takes much longer for your pan to heat up on the electric stove. The same is true of water heaters. Gas water heaters are also heated from the bottom up and can reach your ideal water temperature very quickly.
When you’ve used all of the hot water in the tank, it has to replenish itself and the new water also has to be reheated. Gas water heaters can accomplish this task far more quickly, making them great for homes with higher hot water demands.
Because gas water heaters are connected to natural gas lines, they don’t stop working when the power goes out. If you have an electric water heater and are sick of having to go without hot water every time the power is out, you’ll love switching to gas.
