Beyond Tankless Water Heaters - Other Energy Saving Ideas


Tankless hot water heaters, properly sized and installed, will save quite a bit of energy. But what if you want to go even further? Well, the Department of Energy has these suggestions for additional energy saving strategies:
  • Reducing Hot Water Usage
  • Lower Water Heating Temperature
  • Insulate Hot Water Pipes
  • Drain Water Heat Recovery System
