We have an electric one. It sometimes (often) causes brown outs (the lights flicker) when it's heating water. Currently we're battling with the power company. They won't upgrade the transformer unless we pay for it, even though we're using more water. And it's actually written into state regulations that our water heater is illegal, but we didn't know that when we bought it.

There are more details, of course, but my husband deals with them.
