🔥 Gas Water Heater Services
Natural gas from Atmos Energy powers most Arlington water heaters. Gas units heat faster and typically cost less to operate than electric. But gas appliances require specialized knowledge — pilot lights, gas valves, combustion, venting. Our technicians are gas-certified and work on these systems daily.
⚠️ Gas Safety First: Smell gas near your water heater? Leave the house immediately and call Atmos Energy's emergency line (866-322-8667). Don't flip switches or use phones inside. Once clear, call us. Gas leaks are serious business.

Gas Operating Costs
With current Atmos Energy rates, gas water heaters typically cost less to operate than electric in the DFW area, especially for larger households. Gas also recovers faster — about an hour for a 50-gallon tank versus 2+ hours for electric.
