Having an energy-efficient water heater means that your family can enjoy consistently hot water on demand without an increase in your home’s energy bills. If you are planning to purchase a new heater or simply need a replacement for your current unit, it’s important to understand a water heater’s energy efficiency rating as well as the factors that affect its performance. BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air, local experts in water heater repair in Colorado Springs, CO, discuss more below:
What Does the Energy Efficiency Rating of Water Heaters Mean?
The energy efficiency of a water heater means measuring the energy used to run the water heater unit. The energy efficiency of a water heater is determined by dividing the energy required to run the heater by the energy utilized by the heater. A water heater that has a high energy factor is an efficient one. When looking for a water heater replacement, it’s important to choose a water heater that’s both energy efficient and big enough to meet your home’s needs.
Factors Affecting a Water Heaters’ Energy Performance
- Water Heater Technology and Age – The efficiency rating of a water heater is dependent on its age. To put it simply, the efficiency of a water heater over 15 years old drops significantly compared to that of a new one. To conserve room and energy and get the most out of water heater units, we advise upgrading to a newer type, such as a tankless water heater.
- Size – Before providing water heater installation, we take into account the customer’s needs and the water heater’s capacity. Our goal is to provide our customers with efficient water heaters that meet their needs without breaking the bank. To save energy and keep a water heater from working too hard and using too much energy, manufacturers provide a chart to assist in picking the optimal water heater, depending on the size of the household.
