I got a gas hot water heater and I recently heard that Columbia Gas of Ohio is seeking to get a 'across the board' flat rate increase on distributing charges. I didn`t think this was at all fair since I am single and use very little hot water in the summer months. It looks like more corporate welfare. Im considering closing the gas account off in the summer months and/or using a electric or hot water on demand system....Any suggestions on which is more cost effective?

tankless heater and vote democrat so you will be protected from corperate thieves
I have an electric water heater and I am going to replace it with the hot water on demand system… everything I read says that they are more energy efficient.
Even with the price increase, Gas is still cheaper to heat the water than electric.
The gas Co will charge you " account reactivation fees" that more than likely will equal or exceed the flat fee you would have paid.
Switching over to electric will cost ~$1000+ for a standard heater – need a plumber & Electrician (to run an expensive 240v circuit, that your box may not have space for!). Add at least $500 more for an On Demand.
It bites, but so does $3.25/gal gas.
