An interesting consideration. How do they generate electricity up there?


much is hydro.

but check the costs to upgrade your electric service, power company
will need to replace the wires to your home, new meter, meter can and
main panel.

do call your power company they may offer some incentives.

do note comparing 2 hot water tanks gas vs electric both same size,
the gas tank will have twice the recovery of a identical electric one.

if your going all electric double at least the hot water tanks size
