Q: Can you convert a gas water heater to electric?

• <div><p>You can convert a gas heater to electric, but it isn&rsquo;t as simple as swapping a plug or two. First of all, you need to make sure there&rsquo;s adequate power to the unit, as electric units require much higher power amounts versus gas. Then, you need to close off the gas lines and ventilation. Make sure you don&rsquo;t also need a permit for an electric water heater&mdash;some cities require it. Making the switch can cost upwards of<b> $1,500</b>.</p></div>

Q: Can you vent a gas water heater out the side of the house?

• <div><p>You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. </p><p>Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.</p></div>

Q: How long does it usually take to install a water heater?

• <div><p>It usually takes a professional water heater installer between <b>two and three hours</b> to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take <b>four to five hours</b> if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-tankless-water-heaters.htm">Tankless water heaters</a> have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.</p></div>

Q: Can I use multiple tankless water heaters?

• <div><p>You can use multiple tankless water heaters, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. Adding multiple tankless heaters adds considerable cost to your home in both parts and installation costs. Also, you&rsquo;re adding many more points of failure in the system, making plumbing issues harder to diagnose. More heaters mean more maintenance, and insurers may want a word regarding the increased risk of water damage. A single, larger unit makes more sense in most situations. </p></div>

Q: How long will a water heater last after it starts leaking?

• <div><p>A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.</p></div>
