One way is to look for the power supply. A relatively thick electric wire indicates it's electric, but a gas-pipe, tap and pilot light indicate that it runs on gas.

Why does my gas water heater need to be hooked up to a 30 amp breaker with 220 volts?

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.


What is the difference between a natural gas above ground pool heater and an electric one?

Electric pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool.A gas pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.

Can you install a gas wall heater next to the electric panel?

What is the difference between an electric mobile home hot water heater vs a regular electric hot water heater?

Not much actually,a Mobile Home water Heater has the water connections going into the side where as a Regular Water Heater has the connections at the top. So if you have enough room above a mobile home water heater you can install a regular water heater no problem.However a lot of mobile homes do not have room above the water heater so your forced to use a Mobile Home water heater instead. Which usually costs about a hundred more than a regular one.
