Water Heating
Water heating is often a home’s second-highest energy cost. There are a wide variety of high-efficiency water heating systems on the market that help residents save on energy costs and improve the comfort of their homes.
There are also low-cost ways to save on water heating costs before purchasing a new water heater—like installing low-flow shower heads, faucet aerators, and thermostatic shutoff valves.
