Most homeowners don’t think about their hot water system when looking to cut energy use and bills. Electric hot water units are often the single biggest electricity draw in a house, costing on average more than $865 a year (2018 figures) to operate.
Choosing a more energy-efficient hot water system delivers significant savings:
– A solar hot water system can reduce your bills by up to 80%, equating to roughly $700 saved each year.
– A well-made heat pump system generally saves about $620 per year — and can save even more for households with high hot water demand.
In short, the higher initial cost compared with a standard electric system typically pays for itself in about three years, and after that the ongoing savings go straight into your wallet.
