I recently purchased a Bosch 2400E tankless water heater which I need to have installed in my home. I also purchased a vent kit with it.

Gas water heaters have several advantages over electric water heaters. For one, they are much more energy efficient than electric models. A gas water heater can heat up water at twice the speed as electric water heaters do, while the cost of heating is less than half of that of an electric unit. They also provide a greater water flow. The energy efficiency of gas water heaters can be increased by insulating the pipes and valves that are connected to the unit.
When it comes to tankless water heaters, gas is the preferred fuel choice. The efficiency and operating cost of gas tankless water heaters can depend on whether it is powered by natural gas or propane. When it comes to flow rate too, natural gas tankless water heaters are the clear winners. The only draw back is the cost of purchasing and installing a gas water heater. A gas model can cost up wards of $1000, against $500 to $700 for an electric model. Gas water heater> installation involves complex specifications regarding combustion air supply and venting that have to be met. This raises installation costs. However, with the kind of energy efficiency that a gas water heater promises, homeowners are likely to recover the cost of installation and purchase within one year in the form of reduced energy bills.
There are also safety considerations involved in installing and operating a gas water heater. In earthquakest gas water heater models is up to 85% while that of electric models can be up to 98%.
