FAQs
What are the main benefits of an energy-efficient tank water heater?
Energy-efficient tank water heaters use improved insulation materials and higher-efficiency burners or heating elements, resulting in lower monthly energy costs. They also tend to last longer than less-efficient models and often meet or exceed environmental standards, reducing your household’s carbon footprint.
How much can I expect to save on energy costs with an energy-efficient tank water heater?
Savings vary based on factors like your household size, local utility rates, and how often you use hot water. However, many homeowners see a noticeable drop in their monthly utility bills—some report savings of up to 10–20%—due to improved efficiency and reduced standby heat loss.
How do I determine the right size tank water heater for my home?
Choosing the right size depends on the number of people in your household and your typical hot water usage habits. Homeowners often use the ‘first-hour rating’ (FHR) to match the heater’s capacity to peak demand. A professional plumber can help you assess your daily hot water usage and determine the most cost-effective size for your needs.
How often should I maintain my energy-efficient tank water heater?
Most manufacturers recommend a professional inspection and flushing at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps remove sediment and mineral buildup in the tank, ensuring peak performance and extending the water heater’s lifespan. During the inspection, a technician can also check the anode rod and other components to prevent early corrosion.
Are there any rebate or tax incentives for installing an energy-efficient tank water heater in Greeneville?
Depending on the local utility and state or federal programs, you may qualify for rebates or tax credits. Greeneville residents should check with their local utility company, as well as state and federal energy incentive websites, to find up-to-date information on credits, rebates, or other incentives for energy-efficient water heater installations.
What is the typical lifespan of an energy-efficient tank water heater?
The average lifespan of a standard tank water heater is around 8–12 years, and energy-efficient models can sometimes last even longer with proper maintenance. Regular tune-ups and care go a long way in helping you get the maximum life and performance out of your water heater.
