Gas Water Heater

Gas water heaters use a gas burner and exhaust system to convert the BTUs of gas to heat. The initial purchase and installation costs of gas water heaters are slightly higher than electric models. However, the monthly utility and operating costs are comparatively lower. Some gas heaters produce hot water and can supply owners with hot water even during electrical power outages. Gas water heaters are known to outlast electric water heaters of comparable size. Tankless water heaters are a popular alternative to traditional water heaters as they save space and eliminate stand-by energy losses.
