How Do You Heat Your Water?
While there are many types of water heaters out there, the majority are powered by either electricity or gas. Gas-fired water heaters have become quite common over the years, largely because they heat quickly and are relatively inexpensive to operate. However, not every home has the appropriate hook-ups to install gas systems.
By contrast, electric water heaters are less costly to purchase and can be easily installed almost anywhere. They also operate more cleanly and efficiently, though the overall price of electricity is often higher than gas. There are many varieties of electric hot water systems as well, making it easy to find one that fits your needs.
