  • Choosing between an electric or gas water heater depends on your energy needs, budget, and priorities. Electric water heaters are typically easier to install and maintain, offering a reliable and energy-efficient option for many homes. Gas water heaters, on the other hand, heat water quickly and can be more cost-effective in areas for families or businesses with higher usage needs. Both gas and electric systems require precise water heater installation to ensure safety and optimal performance. Choosing the professional HVAC services of your local Aire Serv can help you navigate these options and ensure your system is set up correctly for long-term performance and peace of mind.

Electric vs Gas Water Heater Installation FAQs

We’ve seen a lot during our 30-plus years in the HVAC business, so we’re happy to share our knowledge and experience to answer questions you have about HVAC service. Here are answers to some of the frequently asked questions about installing a water heater.

  • Considering trying a DIY gas water heater installation? Think again. Installing a gas water heater involves dealing with gas lines, proper ventilation, and safety codes—things that require experience to handle correctly. Improper installation or inadequate venting can release toxic combustion gases into your home, including carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless. A DIY approach may also negate the water heater’s warranty. And how familiar are you with local building codes?

    Reputable HVAC professionals like those at your local Aire Serv know these aspects of gas water heater installation well, and they’re trained to ensure the installation is safe and code compliant, giving you peace of mind and preventing costly and—more importantly dangerous—mistakes.
