Re: [misterhouse-users] water heater comparisons, need some quick help

[Larry R. <lo...@co...>]

Dont some  new gas waterheaters run off a 120v plug.  I know when I
converted to gas from electric all I had to do was run the gas line and a
outlet?  Would an appliance module be able to hanlde something like that?  I
no expert though.
