Benefits of Electric Water Heaters
There are all sorts of benefits for using electricity to heat water. Electric water heaters are safer and a lot more efficient. They also cost less to use and they’re much more energy-efficient. Additional benefits of electric water heaters include the following:
They're More Energy Efficient
If you have a gas water heater, you need to be aware that the combustion and ventilation process allows heat to escape. Gas water heaters often take longer to reach desired performance levels. Electric water heaters don’t use combustion. They also don’t burn fuel and require gas ventilation. Because of this, hot water tanks heat things up faster, and the heat they produce during the combustion process stays inside rather than being wasted and ventilated outside. This can be a major energy-saving benefit.
Electric is Much Safer
Although there are many benefits of using a gas water heater, the biggest disadvantage is the safety factor. This is especially the case in older homes and buildings where gas piping or gas ventilation is outdated or not properly functioning. Electric water heaters are safer. The only safety problem with electrical water heaters are associated with the electrical wiring, which doesn’t need to be inspected before you install into your new electric water heater.
Installation Is Easier and Customizable
There’s nothing like a fast and painless installation, especially when you’re paying for a professional’s time. Electric water heater installation job are done much faster than any other water heater on the market. Electric water heaters also do not require additional pipes, gas venting, or complicated gas distribution techniques. Even if you end up needing repair work performed or something complicates the installation process, the time and money required is generally a lot less involved than what goes into installing a gas water heater properly. Electric water heaters come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, so you’ll never have to wait for a special order.
Installation Costs Are Less
Electric water heaters are excellent investments for newer homes because they’re usually a lot easier to install and they cost a lot less for the installation. Gas water heater installation is usually more expensive because it requires expensive gas venting and gas piping for safety. Electric water heater installation jobs, on the other hand, is fairly simple and straightforward. Our team of professionals use what you have in place already and we are adept at all types of electrical work. The extra costs to make a place compatible with a gas water heater sometimes isn’t worth it, especially when you have a smaller water heater or you have minimal water heating needs.

What usually causes an electric hot water heater to quit working?
If an electric water heater stops producing hot water, it could be a simple problem such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Additionally, sometimes the electric water heater has a circuit-style safety switch located near or on the thermostat that gets tripped.
When should I replace my water heater?
If your water heater is 8 years old or older, you should have it replaced.
Conventional water heaters should be replaced about every 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, last longer. Some experts say they last up to 20 years. If you don’t know your water heater’s age, check the serial number on the tank and also check with the installer or the manufacturer. Signs you need to have a professional check it include strange noises, strange smells, inconsistent temperatures, changes in water flow, changes in water pressure, and increasing gas or electric water heating costs, depending on the type of fuel.
Can you leave an electric water heater on all night?
Yes, but there is a catch. Modern water heaters are very well-insulated, which means there’s very little heat loss. Although electrical rates vary, the experts say turning off the water heater at night is likely to save you only around $2 per month.
