Not true. In many parts of the country, these are fed by electricity. Even gas fed water heaters have an electronic controller/thermostat that needs an electric source to operate.

I would find a supply of heat packs and keep these on hand. If your electricity goes out in the future, you will have these available at that time.

Good Luck!
