Water heating
Tankless water heater not sensible
for every home
I have a 12-year-old electric water heater and am thinking of switching
to a tankless water heater. I read they can reduce energy costs and I'm
wondering if that's true.
Don't wait to replace old water
heater
My water heater is about 15 years old, so I suspect it won't last much
longer. What can you tell me about heat-pump water heaters? Are they a
good option?
Solar water
heating works, even in Northwest
I’ve seen quite a bit of information recently in national publications
about solar water heating, but figured it wouldn’t be a great option in
Western Washington. Can you shed a little sunshine on this?
New habits
beat new water heater for saving energy
I have an electric water heater that is about five or six years old so
I hate to buy a new one. Is there anything I can do to reduce the
amount of energy it uses? There are four of us in the house.
You can
heat your home's water without a tank
I recently returned from a trip to Europe where I visited some friends.
It seemed like everywhere I went they had tankless water heaters. The
gas water heater in my home is 20 years old and I am sure there are
more efficient models out there. Aren't tankless heaters more
efficient?
What would it cost to install one?
Don't like
to wait for hot water? Explore options
My water heater is located in the garage. It takes more than a minute
to get hot water to the shower in the master bathroom at the other end
of the house. We have insulated the water pipes in the crawl space, but
that doesn't seem to keep the water warm. Is there any way to get hot
water sooner?
