Water Heating Facts
How much is it costing you to heat water?
Today’s natural gas water heaters are the most efficient models on the market. Compared to electric water heaters, they’re less expensive to operate, they heat water faster, and they provide hot water even when the electricity goes out. They’re more durable, since the flame does all the work and there are fewer parts to fail or wear out. And, they come in a variety of sizes so you can select one to best meet your needs.
