Gas vs. Electric Water Heaters: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to choosing a water heater, the decision often comes down to gas vs. electric, and understanding the key differences can help you make the right choice for your home. Gas water heaters use natural gas or propane to heat water and typically offer faster heating and quicker recovery times, making them ideal for larger households or high-demand usage. They also tend to have lower monthly operating costs in areas where gas is more affordable, but installation can be more complex and expensive, especially if your home doesn’t already have a gas line or proper ventilation.
On the other hand, electric water heaters are generally easier and less expensive to install, require less maintenance due to fewer components, and may have a slightly longer lifespan. However, they often cost more to operate long-term and have slower recovery times.
At Lucky Duck Plumbing LLC, we install and service all types of gas and electric water heaters, and we’re happy to help you weigh the pros and cons to find the best solution based on your household size, energy preferences, and budget.

7 Signs You Need to Repair or Replace Your Water Heater
Your water heater plays a vital role in your home’s comfort, but like any appliance, it won’t last forever. Recognizing the early signs of trouble can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly water damage.
Whether it’s time for a quick repair or a full replacement, here are the most common warning signs to watch for:
- Inconsistent or no hot water - If your water suddenly turns cold or fluctuates in temperature, your system may be failing.
- Strange noises - Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds often indicate sediment buildup inside the tank.
- Leaks or pooling water - Any moisture around the base of your water heater is a red flag that shouldn’t be ignored.
- Discolored or rusty water - Brown or rusty hot water could mean corrosion inside the tank or failing internal components.
- Low water pressure - A buildup of sediment or mineral deposits can restrict flow and reduce performance.
- Water takes too long to heat - Slower heating times can point to worn-out heating elements or a failing burner.
- Your unit is 10+ years old - Most water heaters have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years. If yours is getting up there, replacement may be more cost-effective than repairs.
