No gas lines, no pilot lights, no risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide. Electric water heaters are inherently safer, especially for seasonal cottages.
Electric tanks require less maintenance than gas models. No burner assembly to clean, no pilot light to relight, fewer moving parts.
No more propane deliveries, rental tank fees, or fluctuating propane prices. Consistent electricity rates make budgeting easier.
Ideal for seasonal properties. Simply shut off the breaker and drain the tank - no need to worry about pilot lights or gas shut-offs.
No venting requirements, no gas line concerns. Electric heaters offer more flexible installation locations in your home.
Electric heaters work perfectly with solar panels or other renewable energy sources. Better for the environment.
Professional, code-compliant conversion from start to finish
We inspect your current gas water heater setup, evaluate electrical panel capacity, and determine if any electrical upgrades are needed for safe electric operation.
If needed, we coordinate electrical panel upgrades and install the dedicated 240V circuit required for electric water heaters. We work with licensed electricians to ensure code compliance.
We safely shut off and disconnect the gas supply, cap the gas line properly, and remove the old gas water heater. Gas lines are left safe and sealed.
We install your new electric water heater, connect it to the water lines and electrical circuit, and ensure proper operation with full testing.
Complete system testing, safety checks, and we provide you with operating instructions for your new electric system.
Electric water heaters require a dedicated 240V circuit (typically 30-40 amps). Not all properties have the electrical capacity for this, especially older cottages or homes.
We'll assess your electrical system and let you know if upgrades are needed. In some cases, panel upgrades may be required before conversion is possible.
Note: While electricity may cost more per BTU than gas, the elimination of propane delivery fees, tank rental, and reduced maintenance often makes electric competitive or even cheaper for many cottage owners.
Almost any gas water heater can be replaced with an electric model. The key factor is whether your electrical system can support it. We assess this during our initial consultation.
We properly cap and seal the gas line according to code. The line remains in place but is safely disconnected. If you want the line completely removed, we can coordinate that with a licensed gas fitter.
If no electrical upgrades are needed, conversion can typically be completed in one day. If electrical panel upgrades are required, the timeline extends to coordinate with electrician availability.
Modern electric water heaters are very efficient. While gas heats slightly faster, properly-sized electric tanks provide excellent performance for most households. Consider a tankless electric unit if you want true on-demand heating.
