What kind of usage do you have? We've got a 120v 40 gallons tank at our cottage and it's more than enough for three showers, worst case it takes about an hour to heat the whole tank. My father in law has an 80 gallons unit and he's never ran out of hot water even with people visiting.
I don't understand how people cannot believe that heating things with electricity works well, it's the norm in Quebec (and anywhere where electricity is cheap really).
Sure where it's cheap here it would cost more to move to electricity. Yah Alberta Advantage /s
My point was more that "Yes, heating your house and water with electricity actually works, the proof is that it's the norm in many places!"
It might be cheaper in Alberta for now but the consequences of heating with petrol will be more expensive in the long run, so it's just shoveling the problem forward...
