If it were possible to shut off the gas without paying $250 to do it, I could get by without it starting in 2 weeks through about November on an average season, $150 for an on demand electric device that would just cover the shower and bathroom sink
(but in the summer I can and have taken only ice cold showers so no worries)

Eliminating gas would obviously increase my electric bill but since my alternate cooking devices are efficient and I rarely use hot water I would probably still be golden anyway.

Could likely go off grid if I were allowed to, sadly I don't have that option without extreme ...
