Water heater - switch from electic to natural gas worth it?
Hello world!
I recently had an old electric-heated water tank that I rent replaced sue to a slight leaking issue. The technician recommended a switch to natural gas (we have a natural gas furnace that was installed around 2005) due to the cost savings.
I looked into it, and my rental fee will only go up a couple dollars a month and the install is about $115 total. I've been told the switch from electric to natural gas can save 30% on energy costs....but I want to see what others' experience has been.
Has anyone made the switch? If so, was it worth it?
Thanks in advance,
D
