Electric Hotwater Cost Estimate
Hi Everyone!
I know there have been other related posts - but I'm having a difficult time finding a close enough thread.
I have the basic question of estimating my future electric hot water costs for a 1500 sft 2 bed / 2 bath condo I'm considering buying (Bkln). (Furnace is gas; hot water heater is a conventional electric tank system). I'm a single guy - with probably above average hot water use. (I'm kind of a long showerer.)
Anyhow, anyone have any cost estimates that might help?
Thanks kindly.

It's nuts to have electric water heating! You'll pay 2-1/2-3x the cost for gas heating. Since we pay abt $50 for 3 people, maybe $25x3=$75. Change to gas asap.

Just wondering- are you buying at Maple Street?

Pardon ultra late replies...
cmu, thanks. the unit is a new unit with an electric hot water heater... not sure how feasible a conversion is / could be. but there is gas in the apt... (furnace, cooking).
Dappledo, hi... no, this wasn't on Maple Street. Why? ;)
