Not every Berks County’s home has access to natural gas lines. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up efficiency, performance, or comfort. Propane water heaters are the perfect solution for rural homes, cabins, and properties where natural gas isn’t available. They heat water quickly, operate efficiently, and provide consistent hot water whenever you need it.
At Penn Mechanical Company, we install, repair, replace, and maintain propane water heaters of all sizes and styles, both traditional storage tanks and modern tankless systems. With expert technicians, upfront pricing, and 24/7 emergency service, you can count on us to keep your home comfortable year-round.
Flexibility for Any Location
Propane doesn’t require municipal gas lines, making it the go-to choice for rural or off-grid homes. Tanks can be installed almost anywhere, giving you full control over your fuel supply.
Fast, Reliable Hot Water
Compared to electric models, propane systems heat water faster and recover more quickly, making them ideal for families who use hot water at the same time for showers, laundry, and dishwashing.
Energy Efficiency & Savings
High-efficiency propane water heaters are ENERGY STAR®-certified, meaning they deliver hot water while lowering fuel consumption. This translates to monthly savings on utility bills.
Compact Options, Big Performance
Available in both tank and tankless designs, propane water heaters fit neatly into any home layout while still meeting heavy demand.
Peace of Mind During Power Outages
Because propane heaters don’t rely solely on electricity, many models continue to provide hot water even when the grid goes down—a big advantage during storms or blackouts.
Professional Installation & Replacement
When it’s time for a new system, we carefully size your propane water heater to match your family’s usage, then install it to meet all safety codes. We handle propane line connections, venting, and system startup so everything runs safely from day one.
Reliable Repair Services
If your current propane water heater is acting up—no hot water, fluctuating temperatures, pilot light issues—our team responds quickly. We stock common parts and use proven diagnostic methods to restore comfort fast.
Routine Maintenance & Safety Inspections
Propane systems need regular care to stay safe and efficient. Our maintenance services include tank flushing, propane line checks, burner cleaning, vent inspections, and safety valve testing. This not only prevents breakdowns but also extends the lifespan of your system.
Tankless Propane Water Heaters
For endless hot water and maximum efficiency, we install and service propane-powered tankless models. They’re perfect for families that don’t want to ever run out of hot water and want to cut down on energy waste.
If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t wait until the system fails. Early service saves money and prevents emergencies.
Most propane storage water heaters last 10–12 years, while tankless propane models can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance.
