Water Heating

Tips:

Water heating accounts for approximately 12% of your homes energy consumption.  Here are some steps to take to reduce your water heating bills:

  • Install an ENERGY STAR labeled water heater.  See our Rebate Incentive Program for rebates available for the installation of a new water heater.

 

  • Lower the thermostat on the water heater to 120 degrees F.

 

  • Insulate the water heater with an insulation blanket.

 

  • Install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators.

 

  • Wash laundry in cold water if possible.
