How Much Does a 30 Gallon Water Heater Weight?

It is not always easy to answer the question, “How much does a 30 gallon water heater weigh?” However, the weight of your water heater is an important consideration when it comes time to plan your next installation or replacement. Water heaters are powered by gas, oil, electricity or propane and the amount of those fuels that power them will determine just how much a unit will weigh. While many people are comfortable with units that weigh in the range of ten to fifteen pounds, if you have never replaced one before then the best way to estimate how much a water heater will be is to find out what it weighed when you bought it.
