Dreaming of an electric water heater replacement? It can be a good option to rethink how your home gets hot water. Don’t just install another gas unit: some homeowners choose to go electric. The old gas setup was no longer part of the new system. As part of the job, our technicians capped the gas line and completed the conversion to electric water heating.

What We Installed
The new water heater needed a few things to get everything working properly. Our techs took care of the plumbing changes and electrical work along with the equipment replacement.
Here’s what went into the project:
- Bradford White AeroTherm G2 Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater, 80 Gallons
- New hot and cold water connections
- Electrical wiring with a dedicated 30A breaker
- 30A disconnect
- New mixing valve
- Drain pan
We also relocated the water lines and installed the necessary fittings and connections. Once the new equipment was in place, the existing gas line was capped.



How Does a Heat Pump Water Heater Work?
It’s not absolutely the same as a regular electric water heater. Unlike it, a heat pump model doesn’t create all its heat directly from electricity. It takes heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the water inside the tank.
This is one reason these units can use less electricity than standard electric water heaters. The Bradford White AeroTherm also has an 80-gallon tank, providing hot water storage for everyday household use.
Many California homeowners think about moving away from gas. And this is an option worth looking into. Depending on the location, equipment, and eligibility, there may also be rebates or financing programs available to help with the installation cost.
