Gas Vs Electric
Gas is often a more environmentally friendly and cheaper alternative to electric hot water services except when you have access to off peak electricity. Depending on your energy providers, gas can be 1/3rd the cost of electricity while almost the same as off peak. Below are some pros of Gas over Electrics
· Generally Cheaper to run
· Quicker recovery, the tank heats faster!
· Doesn't require power
· Many components have typically a greater and longer lifespan
· Enviromentally a better solution
Remember! Many tanks carry a warranty that covers only the tank itself, not additional components that wear out. Typically elements in electric hot water heaters can lead to disappointment as much like a light bulb they sometimes just stop working prematurely requiring replacements parts
