David Gray Plumbing offers installation and replacement services for any water heater brand. We have multiple styles of water heaters, including Wi-Fi-enabled options. Water heaters can be broken down into two major categories and then into subcategories; each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Conventional water heaters use a tank to store hot water that can be used later but often take considerable time to replenish the hot water supply if used frequently. Different types of conventional water heaters include:
Electric and gas water heaters are common choices among homeowners in Jacksonville, each offering distinct benefits. Electric water heaters are known for their efficiency and simplicity, while gas water heaters often offer faster heating and can be more economical, depending on fuel prices. Hybrid electric heat pump heaters represent the pinnacle of energy efficiency, using ambient air to heat water effectively.
Tankless water heaters deliver hot water on demand rather than storing it for future use. Because it doesn't have to store hot water until it's used, tankless water heaters can save on energy compared to conventional water heaters. Different types of tankless water heaters include:
Tankless systems are increasingly preferred for their compact design and ability to reduce utility bills. Gas tankless models are ideal for those looking to supply larger homes with continuous hot water, while electric tankless heaters are perfect for smaller households or point-of-use applications. By installing a tankless water heater, homeowners can enjoy endless hot water, reduced energy consumption, and a lower risk of water damage.

With proper maintenance, a standard water heater will typically last between eight to 10 years. Tankless models can last 20 to 25 years before a water heater replacement becomes necessary.
Routine maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your water heater. Regularly flushing your tank system to remove sediment buildup can improve efficiency and protect the integrity of the tank. For tankless systems, periodic descaling and inspecting external components can help in maintaining optimal operation and extending their functional life.
In most cases, a conventional water heater can easily be replaced by a tankless water heater with just a bit of planning and preparation. However, in some cases, gas service or electrical upgrades may be necessary to provide the higher instantaneous energy required for on-demand water heating.
Before transitioning to a tankless system, it's vital to assess your household’s hot water usage and energy infrastructure. Our team provides a comprehensive evaluation to ensure compatibility and the optimal selection for your home, taking into account factors like water flow rates and energy efficiency goals. This mindful approach helps in delivering a seamless transition with maximum benefits.
If you spot a leak near your water heater, ensure the drain valve is closed and check the pressure relief valve for leaks, as they routinely fail. If neither is the source of the leak, the tank itself may be leaking, which would require a water heater replacement.
Promptly addressing leaks is crucial to preventing water damage and reducing repair costs. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the source of leaks and recommend the appropriate action, whether it’s part replacement or a new installation. Early detection and intervention are key to safeguarding your home’s plumbing system.
We offer multiple styles and upgrades, but we’re always asked about our most energy-efficient option. See the chart below from the U.S. Government Energy Guide to see the average cost for the type of water heater you’re looking at.
