Picture
Our plumbers have the expertise to help you decide which water heater will meet your hot water needs and budget.

There are many types of water heaters, but consistently, gas water heaters outsell the competition.  They are less expensive and fairly easy to maintain.  Also, natural gas is often the cheapest energy source.

Removing your old hot water heater and installing a new one is not a project for the handy homeowner.  The combination of hot water, electrical wires and gas can be extremely dangerous.

Water heaters are often installed incorrectly.  Each manufacturer and model has specific guidelines that need to be followed for safety and to meet warranty requirements.  The plumber has to be well versed in both water and gas piping. Be sure that the plumber you select is a master plumber with years of experience.Heating water is the second-largest expense in our homes, according to the Department of Energy, accounting for 14% to 18% of our utility bills.

That makes picking the right water heater an important decision not only for your comfort, but for keeping energy costs under control, too.

Depending on your local utility costs, gas water heaters are typically cheaper to operate than electric. They also cost more upfront than an electric. However, based on energy savings, gas heaters generally make up the difference in price in about one year. 

Cost: $300 to $600 for gas; $250 to $500 for electric. Installation costs add $700 to $2,000.

Gas Water Heater Energy Factors

​Most gas-fired water heaters have an energy factor (EF) number, set by the U.S. Department of Energy, to help consumers compare the efficiency of similar appliances. The bigger the EF number, the more efficient the appliance. 

Standard gas water heaters have an EF of about .50 to .60.

In most localities, operating a gas water heater costs less than operating an electric water heater. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, water heating accounts for around 18 percent of monthly utility costs in a typical home. To lower the cost of operating a water heater, you can purchase an insulating blanket for the tank, choose an Energy Star rated model, and look for a unit with the highest EF that you can afford.

Regardless of the homeowner's choice, Boise Valley Plumbing can repair and existing or install a new hot water heater quickly at a fair price.  We will haul away the old heater as well.  Boise Valley Plumbers also do general plumbing, sewer and drain work, and gas and electric repiping.
