How to Lower Your Utility Bills with the Right Water Heater


Households today face the difficult task of managing on a limited budget. This can be a big headache. Just imagine all your hard earned money spent largely on bills alone.

This is why it is very important to learn how to effectively lower your utility bills.

One good way to achieve this is to check and replace your water heater properly.

Having your water heater in the household regularly checked will help you in lowering your utility bills.

Basically, through wear and tear, the water heater will get old.

When it does, the water heater can cause lime to build up inside the tank.

This makes the process of heating water a harder task.

More electricity will be consumed just to produce heat thereby making the utility bill increase.

This is why checking your water heater is a must.

It allows you to know when the time is right for you to replace the water heater system.

This is the only way to ensure that you will lower your utility bills and save more money.

Be sure to research on the right type of water heater that will give you the most efficient use of energy available.

Types of Water Heaters

There are many kinds of water heaters on the market today.

You need to know these types so you can choose one that will best suit your needs.

The list includes storage water heaters, heat pumps, indirect water heaters, demand or instantaneous water heaters or the solar types.

Storage Water Heater

This is the most common type on the list.

It operates by heating up water stored in an insulated tank.

It serves as a reservoir for the water that you can access when needed.

This water heater can store up to 80 gallons of water.

It can be fueled either by electricity, propane, natural gas or oil.

This can be a convenient choice for the household. However, it does require a good amount of space in the house.

Demand Water Heater

This is the tankless type. The water is directly heated without the use of any storage space.

You can associate this with the ordinary water heater product that you can easily purchase in stores.

They are useful to people who live in dormitories or apartments without a heating system.

You can easily heat the water by plugging in the device and dipping it in the water until you achieve the desired temperature.

This is an efficient choice also for households in warmer areas since the need to heat water may only come occasionally.

Solar Water Heater

It is also a very practical idea to utilize the solar water heating system.

It is the heat coming from the sun that is utilized to provide the means for a warm bath.

The Solar Energy Factor or SEF and the Solar Fraction or SF are crucial in determining the efficiency of the use of energy.

These are aspects you can check out when purchasing your solar water heater system.

Tankless Coil and Indirect Water Heaters

This kind of water heater utilizes the space heating system in the house to produce your desired outcome.

A heating coil is installed in the boiler of the structure.

When the faucet is turned on to the hot switch, the water supply will then flow to the heating coil.

Thus, even without a tank, you can easily use hot water in your baths.

Furthermore, this is very efficient in households that endure colder climates longer.

It will save you all the time, space and energy that will be typically required in other heating systems.

The indirect water heater is also an efficient choice for majority of the households.

This requires a storage tank for water.

It then uses a boiler to heat the water stored.

The storage tank can store most of the energy that will help in your goal to save.

Conclusion

There are many kinds of water heaters that you can find on the market to replace your old ones at home.

Know your options so you can pick the best choice that will answer your needs for hot water without sacrificing the need to save energy and money.

This is the most effective way to lower your utility bills.
