What Our Customers Are Saying
Benefits of Electric Tank Water Heaters
Easy Installation
Electric tank water heaters are quick and easy to install for any home when replacing a similar model with the same electric power needs. State Water Heaters strongly recommends that you consult a professional installer for a speedy and proper installation.
Hot water Storage Supply
Tank water heaters store a supply of hot water, making it available when you need it most.
Long Lasting
State Water Heaters are built to last with limited warranties that range from 6 to 10 years to help ensure that your home has hot water for years to come.
How it Works
State's electric tank water heaters utilize one or two electric heating elements to heat water. When a hot water tap is opened, water pressure from the street drives cold water into the system via a dip tube, directing it toward the bottom of the tank. This displacement causes hot water stored at the top of the tank to be pushed out through the hot water pipes for distribution throughout the home. Thermostats detect a change in temperature, prompting it to activate the heating elements to maintain the desired water temperature. Each electric tank water heater includes essential components such as a thermostat, heating elements, a temperature and pressure relief valve, and a drain valve, all crucial for monitoring and ensuring efficient, reliable, and safe operation. The thermostat regulates the water temperature by cycling the heating elements based on the control's specified temperature setting.
Still Have Questions?
Depending on your needs, gas tank and electric tank water heaters each provide their own wide range of benefits. Gas water heaters are typically cheaper to operate than electric. However, they cost more upfront and depend on the availability of a gas supply line and adequate venting at the installation location. There are a few different types of venting options that can be used for gas tank water heaters.
Electric tank water heaters are energy-efficient solutions for your home’s water heating needs. States electric tank water heaters have a UEF rating between .89 and up to 3.80 when including hybrid heat pump water heaters, helping you save energy in your home. Although the recovery rate of electric water heaters is slower compared to gas water heaters, electric models can be less expensive to purchase and installation costs are generally lower.
While you might be able to install an electric tank water heater by yourself, State Water Heaters strongly recommends that you consult a local plumber or contractor to assist in the installation of your water heater. A local plumbing contractor can help ensure that the installation was done correctly, safely, and up to code so that there are no faults in the unit due to an installation error, which can lead to disruptions in hot water delivery or damage to your home.
Since electric water heaters don't burn fuel or generate exhaust fumes like gas water heaters, they don't need gas lines or ventilation, simplifying installation. Electric water heaters tend to be cheaper than gas water heaters of comparable sizes, potentially reducing your initial costs. An advantage of having a tank water heater is the large storage supply of hot water, making it available when you need it most.
There are many variables to consider when deciding what size of electric tank water heater to purchase. These include groundwater temperature, size of home, number of household members, number of bathtubs and/or showers, and hot water usage patterns. State Water Heaters offers a variety of models and sizes to suit your home and your family’s needs so that you never have to worry about running out of hot water.

No. Electric water heaters draw their power from electricity. Since they don't depend on combustion to generate heat like a gas water heater, they don't create byproducts or require exterior ventilation.
