Water Heating
When it comes to energy efficiency in homes, water heating are two major areas where significant savings can be achieved. This section will cover some of the most effective ways to make lighting and water heating more energy-efficient.
Energy-Efficient Water Heaters
Water heating is one of the largest energy expenses in most homes. Fortunately, there are several ways to make water heating more energy-efficient. One option is to switch to a tankless water heater, which heats water on demand and eliminates the need for a large, constantly-heated tank. Another option is to install a heat pump water heater, which uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water.
It is also important to insulate water pipes and the water heater itself to reduce heat loss. This can help reduce the amount of energy needed to heat water and improve the overall quality of the hot water.
