Gas/electric water heater

Would you use electric settings to save on propane?

    Absolutely
    But, if you are on a 30A service, running your A/C and wife wants to run say a toaster, microwave, hair drier or any other high wattage appliance while the water heater element is on you take a chance of tripping the breaker at the pedestal.

    Power management comes into play at this point.
