Gas or Electric Water Heater – Which One Should You Choose?

It’s a question we hear all the time: “Should I go with a gas or electric water heater?”
The truth? Both options are great — but choosing the right one depends on your setup and priorities. Here’s what to consider:

  • What do you have now?
    Replacing it with the same type (gas or electric) is usually quicker and more cost-effective.

  • Energy source preference:
    While gas used to be more affordable, rising natural gas prices in the Bay Area might make electric a better choice — especially if you have solar panels.

  • Electrical access:
    If you’re considering switching to electric, we’ll need to ensure there’s proper electrical access in the area.

  • Switching to gas:
    If you’ve never had a gas water heater, we’ll need to run a gas line and install venting, which can add time and cost to the project.
