Natural gas heats water more efficiently than electricity
Gas water heaters save gas by using natural gas directly for heating water. In this region power plants rely on gas to heat water for electricity, but direct gas heating is more efficient. Natural gas can heat about 22 gallons of water with the energy needed to heat one gallon electrically, and a family using 20 gallons highlights the savings potential.
