Natural gas. Tank storage. Built to last.
Gas tank water heaters burn natural gas to heat water stored in an insulated tank — ready whenever you need it. They’re straightforward, proven, and our most common installation. Most homes with gas lines already have everything needed for a direct swap, which means same-day in most cases.
Bay Area homeowners: 2028 gas phase-out. Starting January 1, 2028, BAAQMD Regulation 9, Rule 6 prohibits new gas water heater installations in the nine Bay Area counties. Existing units and repairs are not affected. If your current unit is aging, this is a useful deadline to plan around. See the full 2028 rule breakdown →
What to consider
- 01Tank size40 gallons covers 1–2 people. 50 gallons for 3–4. 75 gallons for larger households. We size correctly at the estimate — no guessing.
- 02EfficiencyHigher efficiency models reduce monthly gas bills. We stock units across the efficiency range so you can choose the right balance of upfront cost and long-term savings.
- 03VentingStandard atmospheric-vent units use your existing flue. Power-vent models work in spaces without direct vent access. We assess venting during the estimate and handle any changes needed.
- 04Space and installationGas tank heaters need room for the unit, proper clearances, and adherence to local code. We handle permits, inspections, and haul away the old unit.
- 05Recovery rateA higher BTU burner means faster reheat after the tank depletes — important for households with back-to-back showers or heavy morning demand.
Repair and installation — same call.
We carry most repair parts on the truck. If your heater can be fixed, we fix it. If it needs to be replaced, we carry brand-new units in stock and can do the full installation on the same visit. Our goal is to get your hot water back on the same day we show up.
