Any furnace with a blower will go on your electric bill but it really should'nt draw enough power to raise your bill noticably unless it's running constantly.

After two years of not being used, it needs servicing. You can't work on it yourself, because you need to be a qualified technician to work on gas appliances.
If the units are in a RV then yes, they both may run on gas and DC (battery power). The furnace requires gas to provide heat and DC power to run the fan. A water heater may be gas or electric, but if gas, it requires gas to heat and DC power to ignite. If the water heater is electric it requires AC power to heat.
it could be the compressor or possibly the dual stage capacitor that starts the compressor and runs the fan ,it will be marked with H-for compressor appx35uf./F-for fan at appx 5uf./ and a C-common terminal in the center for the neutral line to both fan and compressor
Can you confirm that your gas pressure/ supply is correct-- by lighting all of the range top burners at the same time-- Do they all light quickly, and burn to full height, without much of any yellowing at the flame tips? That should indicate you have god gas pressure and supply.
Now-- in the Oven itself- When you light the BROIL burner-- does it's glow ignitor light up, and does that burner light off OK?
If it is only the main oven burner that is not lighting, are you able to remove the cover plate that covers it, and watch it light off? -- Any clues on whether or not the gas valve even open?
If NO gas flow, likely you need a new Main Oven Gas Valve-- Probably need to call your Gas Appliance service person.
Gas valve is not kicking in or gas shut offs are off. Can you check voltage where 2 wires connect to gas valve. Can you see blinking lights thru lower door window and count blinks. Code sticker should be on inside of lower door.
Try cleaning the flame sensor. Its the most common problem on todays furances. You should clean it with a fine grit sandpaper or emery cloth once a year.
Check your voltage going into the gas valve. It should be 24-27 volts. If it is to low the gas valve will chatter. If the voltage is strong enough you have a bad gas valve.
