A 50 gallon gas water heater is a device that is set up in your home to store and heat water. Before purchasing a new 50 gallon gas water heater, there are a few things that should be thought. If you already have gas hook ups, a gas generated water heater will be your best bet. These mostly save on energy costs. Costs to convert the fuel source from electric to gas may be preventive so it is best to use whichever fuel source is already installed. Before finding the capacity of the water heater, look at your family’s demands. For a family of two, choose a water heater that has at least a 30 gallon capacity or a 40 gallon capacity or up to a 50 gallon capacity if hot water is used often.
The number of gallons the water heater can heat per hour is called the recovery rate. This is also a consideration in buying a water heater. If you have some people in your home who use hot water at the same time, a higher recovery will be beneficial. All The Same, if you have a more typical hot water use pattern, a lower recover rate can be chosen. Water heaters with lower capacities and lower recovery rates will be less expensive. Water heaters come in a variety of dimensions. Every water heater is tagged with an energy efficiency rating. Determine the capacity, size, fuel source, and energy efficiency needed for your home.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars Gas replaces Electric, July 18, 2009
We replaced an old electric HW heater with gas just last week. Until we get a couple of utility bills I won’t know if this will be an economical swap or not. Our gas company (who also provides our electricity) has a rebate program for conversion to gas, so there was a few dollars off. This is my first gas HW heater, and my initial observations are that it’s noisey, or at least I never heard the previous electric unit when it was working and with gas you obviously have a combustion burner running at times. I’m told however that gas provides very quick recovery and that it should reduce my energy bill overall. Fit and finish of this model looks good. This unit is about 1 foot taller than its electric predecessor, and our pet cat no longer finds the top of this HW heater accomodating for sleeping, with its’ somewhat reduced diameter and a chimney smack dab in the middle of her favorite spot. She’s not happy, but so far we are.
