This check can enhance safety, improve energy efficiency, and help keep your system up to code. Starting February 1st, save 50% on your electrical safety check - now is the perfect time to protect your home and prevent unexpected issues all year long.
Propane Safety Check: For customers using propane, our Propane Safety Check includes inspecting your tank, lines, and appliances for leaks or issues. We’ll help you avoid unexpected repairs… or maybe just ensure your gas fireplace doesn’t go out!
Oil Tank Inspections: Our technicians perform an Oil Tank Inspection as part of your Bioheat system tune-up to spot wear and tear before it becomes an emergency. And with a Heating Equipment Check, our technicians will make sure your furnace or boiler is clean, efficient, and ready for action.

Winter weather puts added stress on your electrical, heating, and fuel systems, so now is the perfect time to schedule these essential inspections.

Wishing you a safe, warm, and happy 2026!

HARD-WORKING WATER HEATERS

Your hot water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, and upgrading is one of the easiest ways to reduce your energy usage, save money, and provide you with endless hot water all year round. Whether you're taking hot showers, washing dishes, or doing laundry, a reliable water heater is essential to keeping your household running smoothly.

1. Hot Water Heaters Are Essential Year-Round

While hot water usage tends to spike in the winter, your water heater is essential year-round. No matter the season, it provides hot water for showers, cooking, cleaning, bathing, etc. Even as it gets warmer outside, your water heater will continue to be used daily, so it’s important to ensure it's always in good working condition.

Now is the perfect time to check on your water heater. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your unit, ensuring it meets your needs all year long.

2. Signs Your Water Heater Might Need Replacing

Even the most reliable water heaters have a lifespan of about 10-15 years. If your water heater is showing any of these signs, it might be time to start thinking about a replacement:

Inconsistent Water Temperature: If you’re running out of hot water quickly or it’s fluctuating between hot and cold, your heater may be having trouble keeping the temperature steady.
Unusual Noises: Rumbling or popping sounds are often signs of sediment buildup in the tank. This can reduce efficiency and cause damage over time.
Leaks or Pooling Water: Any signs of water around your heater could mean a leak. Even small leaks can lead to major water damage if left unchecked.
Age of the Heater: If your water heater is over 10 years old and you're noticing these issues, it’s a good idea to start considering a replacement before it completely fails.

3. Wall-Hung Propane Units: A Smart Upgrade for Your Home

If your home already has propane and you're ready to replace your water heater, consider upgrading to a sleek wall-hung propane unit. These modern efficient systems come with several benefits:

Saves Space: Compact and mounted on the wall, these water heaters free up valuable floor space - perfect for smaller homes or tight utility rooms.
Energy Efficient: Wall-hung units heat water on demand, reduce energy consumption, and eliminate standby heat loss which is common in traditional tank systems.
Long-Term Savings: Built for durability and long-term efficiency, expect savings on energy bills and fewer maintenance issues in the future.
Environmentally Friendly: Propane is a clean-burning fuel, so it’s a great option for homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

At Gault Energy, we’re here to help you make the best choice for your home and ensure your water heater performs when you need it.
