Gas Water Heater Installation in Snohomish, WA

If your gas water heater needs repaired or replaced, Wolff Water Heaters in Snohomish, Washington can complete the job quickly and easily! Gas water heaters are some of the most economical heaters on the market. Electricity costs are higher than gas. If your home has a gas line and you have a larger family, a gas water heater would be a more functional choice. Water heaters have various different vent styles, including atmospheric vent, direct vent, and power vent and more. Call us now for a free estimate.

The atmospheric vent heater has a burner at the bottom of the tank. It gets its combustion air from vents at the bottom of the heater near the burner. The heat from the burner flame then naturally vents through the flue, like a wood-burning fireplace.

The direct vent water heater

The direct vent water heater is for spaces that do not have enough cubic feet of air to supply the burner with combustion air. This style can be used in homes where running an atmospheric vent to the roof is impractical. Direct vent water heaters can be put in a garage without being placed on an 18" stand because direct vent receives its combustion air from the outside of the building. The purpose of the 18" stand is to prevent heavy gasoline fumes, which spread out on the bottom of the floor, from igniting.

This heater has an electric fan on top of the unit that evacuates the exhaust through a PVC pipe leading outside of the home/building. The fan usually needs a 120v power source. This is the most expensive of the three types, while the atmospheric vent is the least expensive.
