Hi, We recently purchased a Rheem EcoSence 180000 BTU 6.6 GPM Indoor Natural Gas Tankless Hotwater heater and a LG Dryer. We need both appliances installed using gaslines. We currently have natural gas via PSE&G.

We have a Tankless water heater that is not working properly... a Paloma we purchased from HomeDepot. I would like to get an estimate for a Rinnai. This is for a Propane installation. We have the 4" vent and 3/4" gas line for the current installation.

Despite the emergence of gas models, electric hot water heaters continue to be the most widely used heating technology in the country. More people use electric water heaters than other models. This is even despite the fact that electric water heaters are considered to be less energy efficient than their gas counter parts. One of the biggest reasons for the popularity of electric water heaters is the relatively lower cost of purchase and installation.
The first point in favor of an electric hot water heater is the cost factor. It costs much less to purchase an electric water heater which can typically cost between $500 and $700. Compare this with a gas water heater that costs more than $1000 on an average. The cost of installing an electric water heater is also much lesser. However, in the case of electric tankless water heaters, you may need to determine if the wiring of your home can support a tankless system. There are also other factors like voltage, amperage and circuit breaker requirements that are involved.
The federal government has recently introduced tougher energy standards that require up to 5% more energy efficiency for electric hot water heaters. This means that now is the time to replace your old water heater for a new model. There are also other ways to increase the efficiency of your electric water heater, like covering the tank with an insulation jacket, installing timer systems that let you know when the water is heated enough etc. Your water heater contractor will be able to tell you the best way to increase the efficiency of your water heater. The best electric water heater models include Bosch electric water heater, Bradford White electric water heaters etc. To find reputed electric hot water companies in Sacramento, just fill out the simple form on our website, and we will match you with licensed water heater companies in Sacramento.
