Question:

Which is more efficient, gas stove or electric water heater?

Please forgive me for lacking common sense. Before the house bought a Vanward electric water heater, but actually put a year without anyone, take a bath has been using a gas stove, small fire water (normal drinking water is so boiled).Is it old enough?......Home has been using a gas stove, that is better, but also worried that electric water heaters, power consumption, expensive......I mainly want to decide which to use according to the energy consumption, of course, the energy consumption of the heating of the water heater.Of course, it seems that some of the electricity is also made by chemical laws, and in general, it is not environmentally friendly. When I didn't say this

Answer:

General urban residents, from the energy point of view, the gas heater more efficient, cheaper to use, and there is no limit to the amount of hot water.
An electric water heater is usually a heat storage type water heater (usually storing a bucket of water and heated to a specified temperature). When hot water is used, it will flow out and be heated by adding cold water. Usually when not in use, it will automatically heating, keep the set temperature. But when the stored hot water is used up, it needs to be heated again to achieve a comfortable temperature.
The gas stove generally refers to the gas wall hanging furnace, usually double standard: heating, hot water for living; it is the instant hot water heating system (when hot water is used, how much it burns and how much it burns). In accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, to allow the sale of more than two energy efficiency (thermal efficiency = 89%). The thermal efficiency of the high quality gas wall hanging furnace is about 92%, and the heat efficiency of the condensing wall hanging furnace is higher, close to 100%.
First of all, energy saving and saving are two concepts, people may still consider more money problems.Electric water heater is environment friendly, comfortable and convenient to use. In fact, the gas water heater thermal efficiency is not high, a lot of heat from the pipe with a little cheaper than electricity seemed relatively, but because of the gas water heater can continuously provide hot water, so use will be more casual, hot water waste will be bigger, you see the key water habits, and where you live and the temperature in a great relationship.Electric water heaters are much more efficient than gas water heaters, so electric water heaters are energy efficient, but they can't be said to save money.Look from your description, your living habits also remain in a relatively low level, without using the gas water heater, the water is only used if the electric water heater will certainly increase consumption, but this is related to the quality of life and the money for the improvement of the quality of the life, you see isn't it?
