Same here. We switched over from an electric water heater to a gas one, and it was such a difference on our power bill that it paid for itself in less than a year. Even with running folding@home, BOINC, etc on all of my home machines, our bill is still less. Electric water heaters are expensive!
- MertsA 10y agoAs an added bonus the heat coming out of the hot water heater might be inside the home where it has to be removed via AC meaning that not only is that heat being wasted instead of providing hot water, it's also increasing your AC usage and wasting even more power.
- rplst8 10y agoIt's likely that the cost savings was just due to the fact that natural gas is so much cheaper than electricity, unit for unit.
