You are more likely to find a gas water heater throughout America’s homes than any other kind. They make up 60% of the water heaters in houses. By using natural gas, the heater generates energy needed to heat the water. The warmed water rises to the top of the tank and through pipes until it reaches your faucet.
When your water heater suddenly goes out, panic is likely to hit. Try not to let it. One Source Mechanical can diagnose, repair, or replace your water heater. Before we arrive, have an idea of the following:
What size water heater do you need? Since they come in various sizes, knowing what you are looking for helps narrow down the selection. Too small a unit won't keep up with demand, but too large will waste energy.
The higher the efficiency rating (EF), the less the unit costs to run. An electric water heater with a high EF may still cost more to run than a lower EF gas water heater based solely on local utility rates.
Price is always a factor, so know your budget well. You want an idea of the range you are willing to spend. Compare this ideal amount to the estimated number of years the water heater should last.
