Gas Water Heater FAQs
How long does a gas water heater last?
A gas water heater typically lasts between 8 and 12 years, depending on maintenance and water quality. On Long Island’s hard water, scale buildup inside the tank shortens that life at the bottom of the range, which is why we recommend periodic flushing for standard tank units.
How do I turn off a gas water heater?
To turn off a gas water heater, set the thermostat to off and shut off the gas supply valve near the unit. If you smell gas or have any other safety concern, leave the home and call the gas company and a licensed plumber.
Does a gas water heater need electricity?
Most standard gas water heaters do not need electricity to operate, which is why they continue working during power outages. Some newer models use electricity for ignition or digital displays but still operate through short outages on their own.
How can I tell if I have a gas or electric water heater?
Check for a gas line and burner at the bottom of the unit. If you see a gas line running to the unit and a burner assembly underneath, it is a gas unit. If there is no gas line and you see heating elements with a power cord instead, it is electric.
