It's something a lot of us might not think about on a daily basis...where we get our hot water from at our homes. If you don't have the right equipment, you could be losing money and wasting energy.
Hot water is essential for taking showers, washing clothes and doing the dishes in your house. We are going to show you how to save money and the environment by doing a few simple things.
Most people use standard water heaters in their homes for showers and washing clothes. Heating up this water uses up to 25 percent of the total energy used in your house.
In fact, it's the second largest energy expense in U.S. households.
Instead of using a conventional water heater, here at Advanced Thermal Solutions in Hendersonville, they have several ways to Go Green and Save Green.
One thing you can do is buy one of these tankless water systems which heat the water you need on demand. That will save you 30-40% on energy costs over a year.
Another source that's free, clean and abundant is the sunshine.
By using one of these solar powered water heaters, that can give you 75 gallons a day of hot water. Also, your family won't be emitting four to five thousand pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
If you don’t want to part with your old conventional water heater, you can still save money with it.
Simply wrap some insulation around the tank so it doesn’t have to work as hard heating the water. Also, set a timer so it's not working when you are away from the house.
