Gas vs Electric
There are many energy users do the Gas vs Electric comparison at the moment due to the lower CO2 of electric.
Many new gas appliances have low CO2 emissions with over 93% efficiency. Even electric appliances have a CO2 component due to some of our electricity being generated by burning coal or gas. More Coal than Gas.
You can choose the one you think is right for you or your household. The installation charges can initially be more than the ongoing monthly cost of it. More often, people choose energy that is reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly. If you make one good investment, it will lower down the lifelong problem of spending too much on consuming energy.

Gas Vs Electric
Everyone likes to save money and energy. With energy-efficient appliances, you can save a lot of money as well as energy. You must have compared the cost of gas and electricity and thought which one is more cost-effective gas or electricity. For long-term results, you must know the price you pay when installing either of these services and the price you pay in the long run by using them.
Electric
The electric domestic power point can deliver 10 Amps at 230 volts which equal to 2.3 kW maximum output of an electric hot point. So when doing that gas vs electric conversion you may need to factor in new power cables and a fuse box upgrade.
Gas
Gas can deliver as much as you want to spend on the size of the gas appliance. In order to do the same with electric, you would need to find special appliances and run heavy-duty wiring.
This is why gas water heaters do well because it is possible to have 30kw gas water heater appliances which can heat water very quickly and not have to store hot water.
In some large use cases, you still need to store hot water.
Gas can work out a lot cheaper because instead of taking hours to heat an area gas can do it in a much shorter time and therefore there is a lot less heat loss. And who wants to wait hours to feel warm.
