Water Heater Options

Millcreek Plumbing installs tank and tankless hot water heaters. Both can be gas, propane, electric, or solar powered. Tank-based systems store hot water in a tank and keep it hot until you use it. Tankless or “on-demand” systems heat water on demand, so you save energy because water is only heated as you use it. These systems also take up less space than traditional tanked water heaters.

We install all major brands and types of water heaters:

Water Heater

Tank Water Heaters

  • Hold 30-80 gallons of hot water ready to use
