Exhaust gas heater

An exhaust gas system for an internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas system comprising:

• an exhaust gas heater including:
• a carrier arrangement;
• a heating-conductor arrangement carried on said carrier arrangement and having first and second heating conductors through which current flows;
• at least one carrier arrangement supporting unit for carrying said first heating conductor in an electrically insulating manner with respect to said carrier arrangement;
• at least one heating-conductor supporting unit for carrying said first heating conductor in an electrically insulated manner with respect to said second heating conductor;
• a connecting arrangement for securely connecting said heating-conductor arrangement to said carrier arrangement;
• and,
• a length-compensating arrangement for compensating for different thermal expansions of components of said exhaust gas heater.
