I guess if his sister switched from storage tank type gas to instant electric then yes, it possibly still cost more to heat water that way.But if you switch from gas to electric, it’s likely to cost more. My gas rates are triple what they were last year and they’re still equivalent to electricity at $0.045/KwH. That’s about 1/3 of my electric rate. Both including service, delivery charges, and taxes.
Instant gas water heater would been better way to go, but many only look at the initial price tag on the equipment itself and that makes electric look cheaper to them, until their electrician tells them they need to do some major upgrades after they have already installed it before it can connect to their electrical system
