    Got confused with that long sentence.

    Choosing between gas and electric to heat tank of water, I'd go for gas.

    We used to have ours on twice a day for about 40 mins in the morning and bit longer evening. That's for a family of six.

    Electric is 3x more expensive than gas so I'd go for gas - especially if you are heating the house as well - makes it more efficient at the boiler end of things ;)
