Electric water heaters
Electric hot water heaters are the most popular choice among home owners in America. This is primarily because these water heaters are seen as simpler to install, and safer to operate than gas powered models. This is true to a large extent. Electric water heaters have been around for decades, and this makes them not just easy to install, but also less expensive. The cost of purchasing an electric water heater is also substantially lesser than a gas model. You can buy a basic electric water heater for under $700.
A basic electric water heater model can be bought for lesser than $700, while a gas model costs a minimum of $1000. The cost of installation is also lesser because electric water heaters do not involve complicated installation procedures. However, in the case of electric tankless water heaters, you may find the need to change the electrical configuration of your home to support the new heating technology. Generally however, in a comparison between gas vs. electric water heaters, electric models are seen as cheaper. However, the energy efficiency over a long period of time may actually not be worth the price you save during purchase and installation. If you already have an electric water heater and want to continue with an electric model, consider replacing your existing model for a newer more energy efficient one. There are other ways like timers and insulation jackets that can help increase the energy efficiency of your unit.
