Will I Save Money On My Gas/electric Bill If I Swap My Electric Water Heater With A Gas Water Heater?
My electric water heater is on it’s way out, and I’m wondering if it is more efficient to replace it with a gas water heater than electric water heater. I looked into real time water heaters but for what they cost, I’d have to live in my house 22 years to get the savings, which isn’t worth it.

Gas is generally a bargain compared to electric water heating. You can find out for certain by getting in touch with your elec co and gas co and asking them how much elec and gas is, then do some guesstimating to decide which is better.

whats the cost of running a gas line and vent stack for a gas heater ?
the gas line has to be run by a lic plumber
just change out the electric and put a timer on it to shut it off during the times your not home
i shut mine off at night and cut my lt bill by $20

You pretty much answered your own question. Do you need the higher recovery the gas water heater would give? If not then stay with the electric water heater.

to save the maximum amount of money you need to change your water heater to a gas tank-less water heater, cost is about the same as a good tank water heater

Most likely you will save money. The cost of natural gas is going down considerably.

gas is cheaper than electric.

you will save money and the recovery rate is probably twice as fast
