Converting Gas to Electrical

[Justin R.]

Im in process of upgrading all of my hot water heaters in my 16 unit apartment complex. For 2k a unit (32k total) I can upgrade my electrical in the units to adequately provide service to Air conditioners and electrical conversion to hot water heaters. Although it does save a few bucks on each water heater, the upfront costs are high. What are the advantages of this conversion (safety, long term ease, etc)? Is the cost justifiable?

Thanks for your help and advice!!
