Gas water heaters can be ideal if you want hot water right away. As soon as cold water enters the tank it signals a flame to ignite to heat the water. This process is more effective than electric tanks because it doesn't have to wait for the tank to be low before it will start heating more water. With a gas water heater, running out of hot water will be a thing of the past. If you are thinking about getting a gas water heater you should look into the new ENERGY STAR certified gas condensing units. The new technology that has gone into these water heaters produces less energy, lowering the cost of electricity.
Gas heaters heat twice the amount of water as electric heaters and are 1/3 of the cost. Another benefit of a gas water heater is that natural gas is rarely out of commission. Electricity can go out but there will seldom be a gas outage. Because of this, value can be added to a home when it comes time to sell. If you live in an area where natural gas is not available, a propane gas water heater is the next best option. It will still offer the homeowner a reduced electric bill because it is more efficient than electric.
Tankless gas water heaters can save the average family more than $100 per year. By only heating water when it is needed, instead of heating it 24-hours a day, less energy is being used. A tankless gas water heater saves space wherever you want it installed and completely erases ever having to deal with a leaking water heater.
If you have a large family, a gas water heater may be the way to go. With the benefit of saving money and never running out of hot water it certainly seems like the ideal water heater. Another key benefit to having a gas heater is that the temperature can be set so that the water doesn't get hot enough to burn someone.
If a gas heater does turn out to be the right fit for your family you should have the unit professionally installed as gas heaters can put out toxic gasses. A carbon monoxide detector should be placed in the house for safety precautions; routine maintenance should be done twice a year.
