At least in the US, electricity rates and natural gas prices are highly regulated for retail customers. Thus the wholesale price of gas does not generally correlate to the retail price of electricity. In places like California electricity prices are very high due to renewable generation requirements. You would definitely want to have your own solar installation before converting over to all electricity in that state.
- DoneWithAllThat 4y agoWe’re being forced to. After 2030 no more gas water heaters or furnaces can be sold. The cost of heating your house and water here is going to probably triple or more, and will fail every time there’s a blackout.
- njarboe 4y agoYou used to be able to buy water heaters that would last forever. My house had one from the 1950's with a copper tank. Still going strong. Just don't be convinced b y the repair man to get a new one when you have to replace the thermocouple every 8 years or so. The furnace is from the late 1980's, still fine. I'm not sure if such well made devices are still available for purchase however.
