Do you have a flue for the gas heater? That is certainly a factor.

A couple years ago I looked into changing my dryer to gas from electric; but
even if I did the work myself, the payback wasn't there. Sure, water
heaters use more energy, but I didn't get the sense you were doing the work.

what do y'all think?
I've heard that electric heaters are a much greater energy consumer,,,
for a gas tank we neeed to run gas lines which we would prefer to not
do.
if it's a huge difference in energy use tho,,,it may be worth it.
