How To Choose The Right Water Heater
While looking for water heater replacements, it is essential to understand the product. Here is some information about water heaters that is important to consider when making a purchase:
- In most cases, the cheapest water heaters you can buy are the most expensive to operate.
- Most hot water heaters have a life span ranging from 8 to 13 to 14 years, depending on the model and home usage.
- Heating your water is typically the 3rd most costly energy expense in your home, taking up about 15% of your utility bill.
- Heaters 9-12 years old probably has an efficiency of 50% or less.
- Many people buy a water heater based on the size of the tank. But what’s more critical is the “peak-hour demand capacity” or the first hour-rating (FHR) provided on the Energy Guide label.
- It’s essential to study the Energy Factor as supplied by the manufacturer, which takes into consideration the “recovery efficiency,” “cycling loss,” and “standby loss.”
- Your water is always being heated in the tank, so energy is used even when the hot water faucet is off (this is referred to as standby heat loss.)
- Modern, more energy-efficient storage water heaters can significantly reduce standby heat loss, making them less costly.
