Water heaters are available in all different models and sizes. You can choose from electric, oil, natural gas, propane, solar and tank less ones. They all tend to vary when it comes to their initial costs as well as their operating costs. For instance if you decided to get a tank less model it would provide you with on-demand hot water but the problem is that it would cost two to three times as much to operate as a standard gas water heater. If you have gone out and purchased a new energy efficient heater for providing water in your home then you are well on your way to saving money. But even if you do not want to purchase a new model there are still ways that you can save water, money and energy all at once. Be aware that when the heater is not in use it is still busy doing another job, which is storing hot water. It is when it is doing this that it can lose heat through the tank walls if they do not happen to be insulated as well as they should be. This loss of heat is referred to as standby loss because the heat is lost while the heater is standing by waiting to be used. To save anywhere from four to nine percent on your water heating bill and to reduce this heat loss by a range...more

Unfortunately, they are a necessity if you ever want a hot shower, or if you want to do laundry or run you dishwasher. While tankless varieties are gaining in popularity, they have their own pros and cons that you'll need to consider. Besides, you may be nowhere near ready to trade in your old device. And there may be no need to. There are several things any homeowner can do to save on energy costs as it pertains to their hot water needs. Use a BlanketIf you're freezing in the middle of the night, what do you reach for? A blanket, most likely. Well, the same principal happens to apply to water heaters. It may feel silly to wrap an appliance up in a blanket, but they sell materials made specifically for this cause. A blanket capable of fiberglass insulation has been known to cut heat loss by up to 40%. If you don't think this can translate into big savings on your electric bill, you need to try it for yourself. One caveat, however: if your appliance already comes with foam insulation, a blanket isn't going to increase your abilities to cut heat loss. Check first before moving...more
