    A gas water heater is still going to have an electric start.

      Not if it’s a tank system. They can, but they don’t have to, since the pilot stays lit all the time. A tankless system has to use some power since it cycles every time you use it.

      None that requires the house electricity. Piezo, batteries easily work.

      Some use a 9v battery on their starter.

      Regardless, you can just use a match if you want to.

      In either case, they don’t require mains power.

      (Sure, there are different models, etc. but it’s not a requirement that all have an electric start, or a mains electric start)
