No more gas

[Michael McCartney]

I just bought a duplex and am fixing it up before renting it out. There is a gas water heater  in the kitchen and we are moving it under the house (pier and beam (yes there is plenty of room down there for a short boy water heater)) but the plumber said we could not do gas under the house because of code issues and he does not feel comfortable putting one down there because if there is a gas leak it'll seep through the bottom of the house. Not a problem, we decided to go with an electric model. There is a gas stove and gas outlets in every room to plug in space heaters. Plumber suggested that I completely remove all the gas outlets since gas space heaters are dangerous and the window units have a heat option which is fine for our "winters" in south Texas.

If I do away with the gas water heater and the gas outlets that would only leave gas for the stove. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have that be electric as well. I know gas is cheaper but all the bills will be in the tenants name and not having any gas in the house would help me from a liability point of view because if something were to go wrong with gas it usually does not end well.

Just wondering your thoughts on doing away with gas completely.
