Water Heater Efficiency

The Battle of the Water Heaters helps you learn the benefits of energy-efficient water heaters. Some ways to cut your water heating bills are:

  • try washing clothes with warm water and rinsing with cold
  • make sure your water heater is set at the lowest point (try 120 degrees)
  • drain a quart of water from your water tank every three months to remove sediment that impedes heat transfer and lowers efficiency
  • consider buying a new energy-efficient water heater
