Types Of Water Heater We Offer
To give you the fastest service possible, we’ll need to know a few things about your water heater and your home. The first step is to identify what type of heater you have now. Here are photos and explanations below to help you out!
Gravity Vent Water Heaters
A gas gravity vent water heater uses the natural rise of hot air to expel gases through a vent or chimney, making it a traditional choice for most homes. One of the main benefits of this type of water heater is its low initial cost. Gravity water heaters have metal venting on top.
Power Vent Water Heaters
A gas power vent water heater utilizes a fan to push exhaust out through a vent, offering more flexibility in installation compared to gravity vent systems. This design allows it to be installed in homes where traditional venting isn’t possible. Power vent water heaters have a white or black plastic motor on top.
Electric Water Heaters
An electric water heater heats water using electric elements inside the tank, making it a popular choice for homes without access to natural gas. This type of water heater is highly energy-efficient and also come with a lower upfront cost.
Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater heats on demand without storing it in a tank. This system is incredibly efficient and only heats water as needed. It can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower your monthly utility bills.
Hybrid Water Heaters
A hybrid water heater combines electric heating with a heat pump to maximize energy efficiency. This type of water heater can use up to 60% less energy than standard electric models, making it a highly cost-effective choice over time.

In most cases, replacing an electric water heater with a similar unit (what we call a “same-for-same” swap) does not incur additional costs beyond the standard reconnection performed by a licensed electrician. This service also includes the required permits.
However, non-standard or non-code-compliant setups may result in additional electrical costs. Two common issues are:
-
Missing or Improper Disconnect:
Electrical code requires a dedicated disconnect (breaker or switch) within line of sight of the water heater. This is a critical safety requirement to ensure power is fully off during service. If your setup lacks this, an external disconnect may need to be installed. -
Undersized Circuit Breaker or Wiring:
Most electric water heaters require a 30-amp breaker. If your water heater needs more (based on manufacturer specs), the circuit may need to be upgraded. That can involve replacing the breaker and upgrading the wiring to a larger gauge that safely handles the increased amperage.
📸 Want to be sure before the visit?
Feel free to send us the following photos to help our team assess your setup in advance:
-
A clear photo of your current water heater (full unit in frame)
-
A close-up of the water heater’s information sticker (shows model, serial number, and specs)
-
A photo of your electric panel (with breakers visible)
We’ll review and let you know if any upgrades may be needed ahead of time. Call us at 651-365-1340 to learn the best way to send us your photos.

The valve on your water heater’s side is called the Temperature and Pressure Relief (T&P) valve. This valve is a safety feature that prevents your water heater from overheating or over-pressurizing. If you notice water leaking from this valve, it could indicate the valve is failing, or your home may have very high water pressure. Call Champion Plumbing for service when this valve is leaking.

Not getting hot water from your faucet, here are some things you can check.
If you have a gas water heater, is the burner assembly at the base lit? If the burner is lit, you likely need to adjust the thermostat temperature or replace it. Adjusting the temperature is easy: Turn the dial to the desired temperature. When adjusting the temperature does not help, call Champion Plumbing for service or look up your water heater’s warranty. See the guide above to look up your water heater’s warranty.
If the burner assembly is not lit. Attempt to follow the directions on your water heater to light the pilot.
If you have an electric water heater, ensure the circuit breaker works appropriately. If the breaker is working, you may need to schedule a visit from a plumber. Please note that electric water heaters may require the use of electricians. Plumbers cannot troubleshoot electrical faults, like a defective breaker or wiring, but can test and troubleshoot heating elements.
When in doubt, we are here to help. In many cases, contacting the water heater’s manufacturer will help you determine whether your product is under warranty. See the above guide on warranty lookup.
