Hot Water Heating

Home Energy Services

Did you know by choosing an ENERGY STAR qualified gas condensing water heater instead of a standard model can save over $100 a year. That’s over $1000 over the expected lifetime of the water heater. Larger families can save even more. ENERGY STAR qualified gas condensing water heaters are blazing a new trail in water heating technology. Qualified models will utilize an enhanced design to cut water heating expenses by about 30%, while also delivering superior performance. If you have time to plan ahead, consider this exciting new technology for your next water heater purchase.

Gas condensing water heaters work much like regular gas water heaters: a large, insulated tank of water is heated by a gas burner. But an enhancement significantly increases efficiency and performance.

Here's How:

Instead of venting the combustion gases directly outside, those gases are captured and utilized to heat the water even more.
A standard gas storage water heater is like a water tank sitting atop of a gas fireplace with the chimney running straight up through the middle, exiting at the top. A gas condensing water heater has its "chimney" or flue designed with greater surface area. The heat and combustion gases have much farther to travel before they exit the water tank, so more heat is transferred to the water in the tank.

Save money.

The smart design enhancement that increases the efficiency of gas condensing water heaters can reduce your natural gas bills by more than $100 each year. That's like getting a year's supply of shampoo and dishwashing soap for free. Larger families — that typically use more hot water — will save even more.

Save energy and the environment.

You can cut your water heating energy use by 30% with a new ENERGY STAR qualified gas condensing model. By shaving about 75 therms from your natural gas bill every year, you are also reducing your greenhouse gas emissions. If just five percent of the gas water heaters sold each year were ENERGY STAR qualified gas condensing models, the U.S. would avoid wasting $25 million — and 17.2 million therms of energy — each year. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, that's equivalent to taking almost 17,000 cars off the road.

Enjoy a nearly constant supply of hot water.

Because gas condensing water heaters are so efficient at heating water, the tank heats up almost as quickly as it's filled. Those days of running out of hot water during the morning shower will be a distant memory.

Use the newest technology.

Pay less than your neighbors for hot water when you install a gas condensing water heater. You'll take advantage of the latest technology while also being protected by an eight year warranty.

Whole Home Tankless Heaters

Did you know by heating water only when you need it, ENERGY STAR qualified tankless water heaters save the typical family more than $100 per year on gas bills compared to a standard storage model. Larger families can save even more.

By heating water only when it’s needed, ENERGY STAR qualified gas tankless water heaters cut water heating expenses by 30%, while also providing continuous hot water delivery. Gas tankless models are a great choice for new construction and major remodeling, but are also becoming popular as a replacement for gas storage water heaters. See if you should make your next water heater an ENERGY STAR qualified tankless model.

Save energy and money.

You don't use hot water 24-hours a day. Yet a standard tank-type water heater consumes energy round the clock to keep the water in its tank hot. By heating water only when you need it, ENERGY STAR qualified tankless water heaters save the typical family more than $100 per year on gas bills compared to a standard storage model. Larger families can save even more.

Continuous hot water.

Tankless water heaters provide a continuous flow of hot water, so there's no need to suffer through a cold shower if you're the last one out of bed. Unlike with a conventional tank-type water heater, the hot water is always there when you need it.

Space-saving design.

A qualified tankless model saves you an extra closet's worth of space compared to a tank-type water heater. Gas tankless water heaters are small and wall-mounted, unlike bulky tank-type water heaters. Models designed for outdoor installation free up even more space and add versatility to your basement, garage, or utility room.

Fewer worries.

Tankless water heaters have a life expectancy of 20 years, much longer than any conventional tank-type water heater. And with a tankless model, the risk of tank leaks and water damage is a thing of the past.
