Water heating can account for 15-25% of a home's energy use, so if you or your contractor think it might be a good time to replace it, you may be right. Water heater efficiency is measured by an Energy Factor (EF) — higher Energy Factors means higher efficiency. However, when replacing your water heater, there are many efficient systems to choose from. Which one is best for you? Energy Check can help you decide.
With a Home Energy Audit, we'll be able to assess the best plan of action to assist you or your contractor to make the right water heating decision for your house. For instance, tankless water heaters are a great solution depending on your family's needs and the layout of your home. In the right situation, they can cut energy consumption by 40% and provide endless hot water. However, if you have a large number of people taking short showers, you are better off with a storage-tank unit. Similarly, a high efficiency heat pump water heater can save the average household almost $300 per year on its electric bills compared to a standard electric water heater. Let our experts give you the tools to make the right decisions.
