How to be energy efficient with water heaters and water usage:
  • Always purchase energy-efficient models 
  • Purchase the correct size so that you're not using too much energy or have too little hot water
  • Natural gas water heater is less expensive than electricity, and it heats more water faster during heavy use. Consider a sealed combustion or an on-demand water heater. Both types use less energy.
  • Insulate water pipes because it will save you money
  • Repair dripping faucets immediately because if hot water leaks, energy used to heat it is also costing you money (One drop a second can waste up to 48 gallons a week)
  • Reduce deposits and build-ups
  • Install water saving devices
