I think in long run gas appliances are better products. Ytu to buy through your gas company. The appliance can usually have a better warrantee if bought through the gas company and or they sell you a service plan.

I have always had a service plan on my gas home furnace and until they stopped offering , on the home hot water heater. I was ab;e to get a longer warrantee on a home gas hot water heater buy buying the exact item through the gas company instead of direct.

Overall , Americans by a wide margin have shown they want low low entry prices. Qualiy is second. I think for many its a gamble. Lucky if you win , really bad if you lose. I'll go low low price for something that doesn't matter much. If a floor fan craps out I go without or get another cheapo but I do not want to lose heat in the winter and for that security , I pay more and I carry the service plan (I carry very few service plans , most are a waste of money).

I also think that with the hiogher cost of the valves and manifolds in gas appliances , the total package is also upgrade with better parts that give the whole system higher reliability.

National grid took over Valley Gas in my area. You could always buy all gas appliances through Valley gas and have the iron clad garantee. I know when National Grid took over they stopped appliance sales but they did recently add back hot water heaters so who knows what else. Worth checking into.
