Hi NT,

The reason would be to save money and energy by heating the water by
gas rather then electricity.

I don't understand why you think the result would be a poorer wash. So
long as the water in the machine during the wash phase is at the
temperature required by the powder (say 40°C) it doesn't matter how
you heat it.
