It probably wouldn't save any money, but it might reduce our environmental footprint.

We live in a mild climate where it rarely freezes and heat with gas.

Recently California has been discouraging the installation of gas appliances, not so much to reduce greenhouse gasses, but to reduce local air pollution.

Likewise, the EPA is no longer giving "Energy Star" awards to gas water heaters.
