Why upgrade to an ENERGY STAR water heater?
Heating water is a significant home expense and typically accounts for between 20% and 35% of the total energy use in your home. The up front expense of installing the most efficient model of water heater that you can afford will be offset and surpassed by the savings on your energy bills over time.
