Why Choose a Gas Water Heater?

At Stuart’s Plumbing, we install a variety of gas water heaters, including propane, natural gas, tank and tankless models.

Hot water when the power goes out.

Many gas water heaters keep working during an outage, which counts for a lot in storm season. Some newer models need electricity for ignition or controls, so ask us about your unit.

Fast recovery.

Gas burners typically reheat a tank faster than electric elements, which helps larger families with heavy hot water demand.

Possible running-cost savings.

If gas costs less than electricity where you live, a gas heater may lower your bills.

Stuart’s Plumbing will help you choose the right gas water heater and keep it running with maintenance and repairs, so it works well for years to come.

Common Gas Water Heater Problems.

Call for service if you notice:

These problems are best handled by a licensed plumber, not DIY work on a gas appliance. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 first.

Repair or Replace?

A faulty pilot assembly, thermocouple, or gas valve is often a reasonable repair. A leaking tank, an aging unit, or repeated breakdowns usually make replacement the better value. We assess the unit, explain your options, and give you the price before any work begins.

Gas Water Heater Installation, Venting, and Safety.

A gas water heater needs three things done right: venting that carries exhaust safely outside, a correctly sized gas line, and a code-compliant connection. We size the unit, confirm your gas supply and venting, install everything to code, and test the system before we leave.

Gas Tank vs. Gas Tankless.

A gas storage tank costs less upfront and keeps a full tank of hot water ready. A gas tankless system saves space and heats water only as you use it, with no tank to keep hot. For the full picture, see our tankless water heaters page, and for traditional storage systems see our tank water heaters page.

Gas Water Heaters We Install.

Choosing the Right Gas Water Heater.

Weigh your household’s hot water demand, tank versus tankless, your existing fuel source (natural gas or propane), the installation space, system capacity, efficiency, and both upfront and running costs. No single option is best for every home. We’ll explain the trade-offs, and you can compare every type on our main water heaters page or see electric water heaters and hybrid water heaters.

Gas Water Heater FAQs.

It only makes sense to have a few questions regarding water heaters. And it is only fair that we have answers.

What does gas water heater installation cost in Lakeland, FL?

The cost of a new gas water heater or a replacement depends on the unit, your venting and gas supply, and the system type. We give you an upfront price before any work starts.

Do you install both natural gas and propane water heaters?

Yes. We install natural gas and propane water heaters, with proper venting and code-compliant work.

Do I need a licensed plumber for a gas water heater?

Yes. Gas connections and venting affect your family’s safety, so the work should always be done by a licensed professional. Stuart’s Plumbing is a licensed Florida plumbing contractor (CFC1427221).

Why won't my water heater pilot light stay lit?

A worn thermocouple, a dirty pilot tube, a faulty gas valve, or a draft problem are the usual causes. Because it involves gas, have a licensed plumber diagnose it.

Can I switch from electric to gas?

Often, yes, if your home has a gas supply or can be connected to one. The switch involves a gas line, venting, and permits, and we’ll tell you upfront what your home needs.
