    A lot of people getting these installed don’t have the choice. My new build home (2023) has gas and I was very frustrated by this, basically every home in my area uses gas and it’s not something I could opt out of since I didn’t control the home as it was being built. I do plan on replacing my gas appliances basically as soon as I can reasonably afford it, but there are other amenities new homes also don’t come with that I need to deal with first.

      Mine is much older so gas was an excellent choice. Some of my neighborhood has oil heat which is much worse. I don’t know if mine was always gas, but I see no sign of oil

      Anyhow, now that I’ve lived here 20 years, everything is coming up on replacement age. I decided “if it dies, it gets electrified”, but maybe I’m close enough
