Get Big Savings With an Efficient Water Heater

When you start considering your monthly energy cost, you may notice that almost 25 percent of each dollar is spent on heating water. Over the years, however, water heater efficiency has improved, and most of the models that are available in the market today are much more energy efficient.

As a result of these improvements, you probably would not be able to replace your water heater with the exact same model. The good news is, you can replace it with a more efficient water heater and save money on your gas water heater energy each month instead of having to get a gas hot water heater repair done multiple times. Over the lifespan of your heater, you could actually save hundreds of dollars. If you are looking to install a new, more energy efficient gas water heater, you can count on the experts at Penning Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric to get the job done right.

Average Lifespan of a Gas Hot Water Heater

8 to 12 years is the expected life for a standard gas-powered water heater. However, this range can change and depend on your location. In addition, the level of sediment in your tank affects the lifespan of your water heater.

Expert Tips

Regularly check for gas leaks by inspecting the pilot light and surrounding areas. A consistent blue flame indicates proper combustion. If the flame is yellow or flickering, it may be a sign of a gas leak. Promptly contact a professional for inspection and repairs to ensure safety and efficiency.
