Residential Water Heaters

From warm showers to clean dishes, we count on hot water. In fact, the average household spends $400-$600 per year on water heating - making it the second largest energy expenditure behind heating and cooling.

Most Americans have conventional water heaters that are barely more efficient than ones sold 20 years ago. Today's new ENERGY STAR qualified water heaters include smart design enhancements that offer significant improvements in efficiency - and performance. Depending on the technology you choose, you can cut your water heating costs in half!

Don't get burned, plan ahead.

A water heater lasts about 10-15 years, and when it fails it can leave you with a big mess. When in a rush to replace, it's hard to evaluate options and consumers often end up with the least efficient choice. If you're one of the 27 million households with a water heater that's more than ten years old, consider replacing it with an ENERGY STAR qualified model before it fails. By acting early you have more control of your purchase and can start saving money right away.

*Heat is constantly lost or gained in a home. Keeping this loss or gain to a minimum is very important. Insulation can be a big help because it creates a barrier of resistance. The amount of resistance each insulating material has is called its R-factor. The higher the R-factor, the better the insulating power of the material.

*Approximately 30 percent of heat is lost through the attic or roof. If your attic already has insulation, check its condition. If the insulation is water damaged, settled, compressed, or incomplete, consider adding more.

*If your attic is uninsulated, installing recommended levels would be a wise investment. The recommended R-values for existing houses in the Hill Country are 30 for the ceiling and 13 for the walls.

*Attic ventilation is important in every season. A poorly ventilated attic may reach 140 degrees in the summer and can heat the rest of the house. Good ventilation promotes the flow of heat out of the structure, lowering summer cooling costs, maximizing comfort levels, and increasing the life of your roof shingles. In the winter, ventilation helps keep moisture levels low. Low moisture is important because moisture in the attic decreases the effectiveness of insulation and may lead to structural damage in extreme cases.

*Roof ventilators and louvers (also called vents) are the most common devices used to improve the airflow in your attic. Local roofing professionals can check the airstream patterns, vapor barriers, and other factors in your attic to help you improve the energy efficiency of your home.
