Would like to get a estimate for having a new, 50 gallon hot water heater installed. Replacing a 40 gal heater. Need an accurate estimate, considering that code updates may be necessary. Thanks.

We have a 50 gal hot water heater in our attic (lots of room); and want to convert to a gas Rannai tankless hot water system. Please give us an estimate. Also estimate on possible yard leak that has tripled our water consumption in the past month. Thanks.

Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters have several advantages over electric water heaters. For one, they are much more energy efficient than electric models. A gas water heater can heat up water at twice the speed as electric water heaters do, while the cost of heating is less than half of that of an electric unit. They also provide a greater water flow. The energy efficiency of gas water heaters can be increased by insulating the pipes and valves that are connected to the unit.
In recent years, the federal government has also introduced tougher energy standards which have increased the energy efficiency of gas water heaters by up to 10%. This makes these models now even more desirable to home owners who are looking for a way to cut their energy bills. The cost of purchasing and installing a gas water heater is much higher than that of an electric water heater. Typically, an electric model can cost between $500 to $700, while a gas water heater can cost $1000 or more. The cost of installation is also higher because it involves complex venting and combustion specifications.
Gas tankless water heaters as well as storage models also require safety considerations to be met before installation. Make sure that you get your gas water heater installation done by a licensed and insured water heater company only. Improper installation can quickly lead to gas leaks and fires.
