Electric Water Heater

Recently I noticed that my hot water heater has an electrical switch near the drain, with a clip through it to keep it off. So I removed the clip and flipped it on. Electrically heated hot water! Wonder how I missed that before.

The manual for the heater doesn't mention anything about using this feature. So I now use electric most of the time, but kick on the gas when I need hot water faster (for the next person to shower).

So finally my question. A service guy suggested not using both electric and gas at the same time, but he didn't mention why. Does anyone have a reason why this might be harmful?
