Water Heaters
Heating water typically consumes from 10% to 15% of a home’s total monthly energy budget. There are three common types of water heaters used in homes:
✓ storage water heaters
✓ tank less on-demand water heaters
✓ instant hot-water dispensers
✓ Storage water heaters heat water with natural gas or electricity and hold the heated water until it’s needed.
✓ Tank less on-demand water heaters very popular alternative, because they save energy by heating water as it passes through, eliminating the need for storing water at a high temperature.
✓ The third category, instant hot-water dispensers are point-of-use water heaters typically used at the kitchen sink.
