A gas water heater is a type of water heater<\/a> that is powered by either propane or natural gas. These gas water heaters are typically inexpensive to run, but do cost a bit more than electrical heaters in terms of initial cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Gas water heaters consist of a few different parts that all work together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To put it simply, cold water is drawn in from the cold water inlet pipe into the bottom of the water heater tank. As the water sits in the tank, the gas burner continuously ensures the water is at the temperature set by the thermostat. Once someone uses a hot water tap, water is then drawn from the hot water outlet into your sink or shower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gas water heaters can also come with a storage tank or be tankless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gas water heaters will need to be replaced every 8-10 years. However, your gas heater will require evaluations every 3-5 years from a plumber or professional to ensure the anode rods do not need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cost to run a gas hot water heater will vary on a few different factors that include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On average, expect to pay around $50 a month for your water heater. To calculate what your cost may be, check out the energy calculator provided by EERE here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gas waters are safe when they are handled and maintained properly. However, if they are not looked after or are misused, gas water heaters can cause significant damage to your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gas water heaters do take a bit of skill to install, but can be quickly learned. Storage tank water heaters will likely require at least two people to be able to move and handle the gas water heater due to how heavy it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A gas water heater is a type of water heater that is powered by either propane or natural gas.
