Gas vs. Electric vs. Tankless: What’s Right for You?

Not sure if it’s time to call a professional? Here are common signs that your heating system may need service or replacement:


  • Uneven heating or cold spots in your space
  • No heat or weak airflow
  • Frequent cycling on and off
  • Strange sounds (rattling, banging, whistling)
  • Pilot light issues or ignition problems
  • Rising energy bills despite consistent usage
  • A system more than 15 years old
  • 

Our team can quickly inspect your system, identify the issue, and explain your options. If your unit is nearing the end of its life or no longer running efficiently, we’ll walk you through replacement options — always with your budget and comfort in mind.

Heating Installation & Replacement

If your old furnace or boiler just isn’t cutting it anymore, Mattice Mechanical makes replacement easy. We’ll help you choose the right equipment for your property size, layout, and energy goals — and handle the installation from start to finish.

We install:


  • High-efficiency gas and oil furnaces
  • Hydronic heating systems (boilers and baseboard heat)
  • Electric and hybrid heat pumps (great for year-round use)
  • Ductless heating systems (ideal for zoned heating or additions)
  • Gas fireplaces and log inserts for supplemental comfort and ambiance

Every install includes proper sizing, clean ductwork or piping connections, and post-install testing to ensure reliable, safe performance.

Gas vs. Electric vs. Tankless: What’s Right for You?

Choosing the right water heater starts with understanding your property’s layout, hot water demand, and energy preferences. Here’s how the options compare:

A tall, silver water heater with black top, black control panel, and gas fittings.

Gas Water Heaters

  • Quick heat recovery times
  • Great for larger households or high usage
  • Lower monthly energy costs (where natural gas is available)
  • Requires proper venting and gas line connections
Tall, cylindrical hot water heater with a black top panel and three rectangular access panels.

Electric Water Heaters

  • Easier to install (no venting needed)
  • Ideal for smaller homes or properties without gas service
  • Typically lower upfront cost
  • Slightly slower recovery rate than gas
White tankless water heater mounted on gray siding. Black pipes and a white outlet are also visible.

Tankless Water Heaters

  • On-demand hot water with no storage tank
  • Compact and wall-mounted
  • Energy-efficient (only heats when needed)
