Benefits:
After heating or cooling, water heating can be the biggest energy user in your home. Storage water heaters, the most common type of water heater, range in size from 20 to 80 gallons
(or larger) and work by heating up water in an insulated tank. Because heat is lost through
the walls of the storage tank (called standby heat loss), energy is consumed even when no
hot water is being used!
Reasons to consider a more energy-efficient hot water heater:
• New energy-efficient storage water heaters contain higher levels of insulation around the
tank, substantially reducing standby heat loss – saving you money
• Water heaters fail with almost no warning, leaving little time to look for the water heater
that fits your needs and offers the highest level of energy efficiency. Be prepared, start thinking about your next water heater BEFORE you need one
• If your water heater is currently leaking or is more than seven years old, consider replacing
it now. Don’t settle for whatever is “in stock” on the day your water heater fails, start
shopping for a new water heater today.
