Tank & Tankless Water Heater Installation

Choosing the right water heater depends on your household size, hot water usage, available space, and budget. Washington Natural Gas installs all types of water heating systems and helps you find the best fit for your home.

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

Tank water heaters store 30-80 gallons of hot water ready for immediate use—the most common and affordable option for residential hot water. Available in gas or electric models, they offer proven reliability with minimal maintenance.

Gas tanks heat water faster, cost less to operate, and work during power outages. Electric tanks install more easily without venting and suit homes without gas service.

With proper maintenance, periodic flushing, and anode rod replacement, quality tank water heaters serve homes reliably for 10-15 years at a lower upfront cost than tankless systems.
Best for: Budget-conscious homeowners, adequate space available, predictable hot water needs

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. You’ll never run out of hot water. These compact wall-mounted systems deliver unlimited consecutive showers, save 20-30% on energy costs (no standby heat loss), free up valuable floor space, and last 15- 20+ years.

Installation costs run 2-3 times higher than tank systems due to complexity and potential utility upgrades. However, lower monthly operating costs and longer lifespan often justify the investment.

Gas tankless units provide higher flow rates for whole-home use. Electric models work well for point-of-use or smaller households.
Best for: Unlimited hot water needs, energy efficiency priorities, limited space, long-term savings

Washington Natural Gas team — water heater specialists

Gas vs Electric – Which Fuel Type?

Gas water heaters (natural gas or propane) heat faster, cost less to operate in our area, and work during power outages. They require venting and professional gas connections.

Electric water heaters install more simply without venting, cost less upfront, and work anywhere with electrical service. Operating costs are typically higher, but there are no combustion or carbon monoxide concerns.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Heat pump water heaters are the most efficient option available, transferring heat from the surrounding air into water rather than generating it directly. They can cut water heating costs by 50% or more compared to standard electric models.

They need adequate space for air circulation and perform best in warm locations. Higher purchase prices are often offset by substantial utility rebates.
Best for: Maximum efficiency, warm locations, adequate space, lowest operating costs

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Services

Tank water heater replacements typically require 2-4 hours for straightforward installations where we're replacing an existing tank with a similar model. Tankless water heater installation generally takes 4-8 hours due to increased complexity, mounting the unit, upgrading gas lines or electrical service if needed, installing proper venting, and thoroughly testing the system.
Absolutely! We understand that water heater leaks can cause rapid property damage and that a lack of hot water can disrupt your entire household routine. We provide same-day emergency water heater service throughout Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Bothell, and Everett. Simply contact us at (425) 355-3331 and we'll dispatch a technician to diagnose and resolve your problem as quickly as possible.
We install and maintain all major water heater manufacturers, including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, State, Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, Takagi, Bosch, Stiebel Eltron, and many others. Our technicians receive training on a wide range of makes and models, including both tank and tankless systems, so regardless of your existing equipment or preferred brand for a new installation, we deliver expert service.
We recommend annual water heater maintenance for all systems. Tank water heaters benefit from yearly flushing to remove sediment buildup, anode rod inspection, pressure relief valve testing, and general performance checks. Tankless water heaters particularly benefit from annual descaling (especially in hard water areas) to prevent mineral deposits from reducing efficiency and flow rates.
Tank water heaters typically deliver 10-15 years of reliable service with proper maintenance. Electric models sometimes last slightly longer than gas units. Tankless water heaters frequently exceed 15-20 years, with some quality units lasting 25 years or more when properly maintained. Actual lifespan depends on water quality, maintenance frequency, usage patterns, and installation quality.
If you discover a leaking water heater, take these immediate steps: First, shut off the water supply using the cold water inlet valve at the top of the unit. Second, turn off the power to the electric water heater at the circuit breaker, or turn the gas control to "pilot" or "off" for gas models. Third, if the leak is substantial, shut off your home's main water valve. Then call us immediately at (425) 355-3331 for emergency service. Don't delay; water damage spreads quickly and can affect flooring, walls, and belongings.
Are tankless water heaters worth it? For many homeowners, yes, especially those prioritizing energy efficiency, unlimited hot water, space savings, or long-term cost reduction. While tankless units require higher upfront investment, they typically reduce energy costs by 20-30%, last significantly longer than tank systems (often 20+ years), never run out of hot water during use, and occupy minimal space. If you're staying in your home long-term, the combination of energy savings and extended lifespan often justifies the initial cost difference.
Yes! We routinely handle complete conversions from tank to tankless water heaters. These projects may require upgrading your gas line size for gas tankless units, enhancing electrical service for electric tankless models, installing proper venting systems, and relocating the installation to an exterior wall or suitable interior location.
Yes. New water heater installations include manufacturer warranties covering tanks, components, and parts. Coverage duration varies by brand and model, typically ranging from 6-12 years for tanks and longer for tankless systems.
Yes! Energy-efficient water heaters qualify for substantial savings, including utility rebates, federal tax credits, and state incentives that add up to hundreds of dollars. Heat pump water heaters receive the largest rebates. We'll identify every program your new system qualifies for and handle the paperwork to ensure you capture all available savings.
