Rebate program for qualifying incomes might be the best bet. Give it a five-to-seven year window. Most gas water heaters will need replacement within that time period.

In an alternate universe where I am almighty king, I'd nationalize all utilities and eliminate their for-profit status. Hospitals, health insurance plans, and pharmaceutical companies too. Then I'd abdicate and buy a house on a tropic beach.
