Yes, electric heat and water heaters are a very bad idea. I also think Tank water heaters sound be banned. Tank-less Water heaters are the way to go.
Why? I had hot water for 20 min after the power went out. Tankless also puts a bigger strain on the grid because of the surging demand. That's the hardest part to deal with.
No it’s not. It’s a very small electrical charge to start the gas. It runs for a bit then it goes off.
I didn't know they made gas tankless heaters. The only kind I know of is just a pipe wrapped in a giant heating element. They require special electrical connections.
