I'm with Ransley on this one. If you can cut your energy cost for
heating water in
a residence by $00 a month, by switching from electric at 8c kwh to
gas, something
is very wrong. You'd have to use an incredible amount of water to
make that possible.
Even if the gas were free, so you went to zero cost, it would have had
to cost $00
a month to heat water by electric to begin with. That's more like a
pool heater.
