Default electric Water Heaters

Cate,

I understand the skeptism of the electric water heater... But look into the math, if fuel prices keep going up, Propane and Oil become costly... I have a family of 4 on a electric hot water tank, and have no issues, as far as operating costs, well our electric bill is around 100$ a month... note this doesn't include heating, or an electric dryer. We do however power several computers and assorted electronics....

The big distinction as I mentioned in my earlier post, is to buy a high quality water heater, not one from Lowes or Home depot...Also if you are going to have multiple people taking shower in succession go with a bigger capacity.
