You may think that when you are not at home that your water heater is not going to be on and using electricity, but this is not the case. Your water heater will always ensure that it has plenty of hot water ready for use at all times. There are some advantages of purchasing a tankless water heater to make your home more energy efficient. Here is some information from a plumber in Panama City, FL.
A great way to save your money this summer would be to turn down the temperature setting of your water heater. Your water heater is the second-most hard-working HVAC system in your entire home and consumes a large amount of energy. Most of the time, you have your water heater set at 120 degrees. However, during the summer, we don’t tend to turn the temperature up quite that high, so it is best to turn the water heater temperature down by about 10 degrees. This can create a 5% reduction in energy use.
You also will not have to pay for the water to heat when no one is home. Tankless water heaters are a great choice for those homes that use 41 gallons of water or less in a day. These can save an average of 24-34% more energy than traditional water heaters can. For those that use about 86 gallons or more per day, tankless water heaters can still save around 8-14% of the energy than traditional units use.
