Gas and Electric Options: We handle both types with equal care and expertise.

Why Traditional Water Heaters Work Well for Twin Cities Homes
For many homeowners in Minneapolis–St. Paul, a traditional tank water heater is still a smart, reliable choice. Here’s why:
Reliable Performance: With proper care, a good tank water heater can deliver steady hot water for 10–12 years — a solid value for local families.
Handles Heavy Demand: Cold winters mean higher hot water use — multiple showers, laundry, and dishwashing all at once. A properly sized tank ensures there’s always a reserve ready when you need it most.
Cost-Effective Upfront: Tank water heaters have a lower purchase and installation cost compared to tankless units, which can help manage home expenses — especially in older Twin Cities houses where retrofitting for tankless may cost more.
Simple Maintenance: Routine tasks like flushing sediment and checking the anode rod keep tank units running smoothly, even with the region’s hard water.
