No, you only need gas for a gas water heater.

∙ 10y agoGas heater & electric heater both are available.
A gas water heater doesn't use electricity to heat water like an electric water heater does. The electrical connection is typically for powering the ignition system or other electronic components on the gas water heater. The 30 amp breaker with 220 volts is required to safely supply power to these components.
Not if the water heater is electric
Normally NO
Not enough info. Car heater? House heater? Gas? electric? Water?
The part that generates heat... depending if it is a gas / electric heater
In a gas water heater: The gas flame warms the water, exactly the same way as a gas stove burner does for a pan of water on the stove. In an electric water heater, an element - same as an electric range element, but a different shape - heats up from electrical current, and transfers that heat to the water.
It depends on if it's a gas water heater or electric. I don't think electric makes any noise, but a gas water heater, you'll the gas ignite, and hear the rushing gas from the burner.
Look for a gas supply line entering the water heater to determine if it is gas-powered. Electric water heaters will have an electrical cord or conduit connected to them. Additionally, you can check the manufacturer's label on the water heater for specifications.
Read the label. A gas heater will have three plumbing pipes connected.One is a gas supply. An electric heater will only have two plumbing pipes but it will have an electical conduit or electrical wire feed line.
No if your heater is electric you can not use a gas heater you have to use the electric heater and it would really cause too much to change over from electric to gas so I would truly stick to what heater you have noiw
