Estimated cost of change a house over to total electric...?
I live in a house where the only use for the gas is the hot water tank and the furnace. I want to change this over to a tank-less water heater and electric furnace. Tired of paying for a electric and gas bill. Can anyone give me ideal of how this with cost?
I've price the the tank-less water heater already, but not an electric furnace.
Almost forgot. I no longer want to have gas. I want a totally electric house.
I looking for estimate from a person who has had this done. I know it will not be the same price. What I'm looking for is a range. That way when I do start calling contractors I will have a ballpark figure or a round about figure as to where it should start at. If this help the house is split foyer 1900 sqfeet heated space built in 1971 on a slab. Kitchen, dining room/living room, 3 bd rm upstair with two baths and two rooms and 1/2 bath downstairs.The circuit breaker, hot watertank, and furnace are all in the garage. According to the guy who did my inspection my electrical wire is up to date. Thanks

The Instant ELECTRIC tankless water heater will require you to upgrade your entire electrical service.You may need a 400amp service. The last one I did was a 24kw unit. A 24kw unit pulls 100 amps(this is the size of most house services). Make a long story short, you will spend a small fortune trying to do this. My suggestion: stick with GAS. You can get a gas tankless water heater. You need to consult a plumber for this, you need a bigger gas line coming in.
