Electric water heater services in Waterloo, IA

Most tank water heaters in the Waterloo, IA area are fed by natural gas, piped in as part of a civic system.  But what about homes that sit outside of a civic grid or otherwise don’t have natural gas available?  In such circumstances, electric water heaters make a great option: using electric coils fed by your home’s electrical grid to heat the water and provide all of the comforts and necessities that that entails. 

Here at Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc., we specialize in electric water heater services, and can provide installation, replacement, maintenance and repairs whenever your Waterloo, IA home might require it.  If an electric water heater sounds like a good fit for you, or you already own one and need some work performed on it, give us a call to make an appointment! 

Are electric water heaters better than gas water heaters? 

Electricity costs more than natural gas, which is one of the reasons why most water heaters run on natural gas.  If you have an electric water heater, you can expect to pay higher monthly bills for the privilege.  On the other hand, electric water heaters tend to be safer than natural gas water heaters, since there’s no risk of a gas leak. 

They are also simpler devices, which means they usually cost less to install and repair.  They tend to last longer too, since there are fewer components involved to break down.  Such features might make them an enticing addition to your home even if you live in Waterloo, IA or a nearby town with reliable access to gas lines.  Our trained team can discuss your options with you before performing an installation! 

Who benefits from them? 

As stated earlier, the biggest beneficiaries of electric water heaters are those living in rural areas off of the civic grid, where running gas lines become a practical impossibility.  Electric water heaters provide an easy solution without having to go to any trouble. 

They also work well for vacation homes and homes that go unoccupied for parts of the year.  You don’t have to worry about the gas lines so you can leave the system turned off while the home is left empty.  When you arrive, you need only turn it on again and wait a few minutes to enjoy hot water for all of your fixtures.
