Water Heating
Did you know ... ?
Heating water accounts for 15% of a home’s energy use.
High-efficiency water heaters use up to 50% less energy than standard models.
The recommended timeline to replace a tank water heater is every 10-15 years and for an on-demand (tankless) water heater, it is every 20 years.
