These make no sense if there's natural gas available. Natural gas is dirt cheap (heck recently it's being given away for free in many places because it's a waste product from oil extraction).
- hyperbovine 7y agoNot true at all. My basement is a muggy swamp in the summer. I have to run a dehumidifier 24/7 else everything molds. This water heater does that as a side effect. Plus, some of us enjoy owning things that are energy efficient, and are willing to pay for it. Enjoy your global warming.

- teruakohatu 7y agoIs your gas burner inside the house? Here in NZ I have only ever seen them installed externally.
- post_break 7y agoDepending on where you live you can expect a gas line fee of $20-40 a month before you use any gas. Something to consider.
- skuhn 7y agoThis was one of the factors that led me to replace two 40 gallon gas water heaters (on two separate gas lines, so $60 every month before a single pilot light is lit) with one 80 gallon HPWH. The other factor was that you have various options to get renewable electricity, from paying your utility to installing solar panels. There is no such option for natural gas.
