Hot Water on DemandTankless Water Heater

According to the U.S. Department of energy, water heating is the third largest energy use in homes. As more and more homes integrate green technologies, homeowners are discovering the benefits of tankless water heaters. Not only do they minimize total environmental impact, they reward homeowners with energy savings without sacrificing lifestyle.
 
Unlike storage tank water heaters, tankless water heaters only heat water when needed, which conserves energy. Tankless units are compact and wall-mounted, saving space in your home. They can last as long as twenty years—twice as long as the average storage tank water heater. Because of their longer life cycle and recyclable components, using tankless water heaters reduces waste and keeps bulkier storage tank models out of landfills. With a natural gas tankless water heater, you can run a washing machine, dishwasher, and shower simultaneously and still save energy.
 
The environmental benefits are substantial. Compared to a traditional tank-style water heater, some tankless units can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 25 percent annually*. According to Rinnai, if the estimated 60 million homes in the United States converted to tankless water heaters, the nation would eliminate 51.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
 
With their energy efficiency, long life cycle and space-saving size, tankless water heaters help build greener homes.

Take Control of Your Home’s Efficiency—And Save up to $250!Natural Gas Furnace 

Natural gas is the most popular form of home heating in the United States – capturing 70 percent of the new single-family home market for the past few years. Homeowners prefer natural gas heat because it’s comfortable, convenient, reliable and efficient. Today’s heating systems offer a variety of efficiency choices to homeowners.  The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), or the ratio between the amount of energy that goes into the system and the amount of energy that comes out as usable heat, is a measure of a unit’s efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace – and the higher the energy savings and the lower the environmental impact. New furnaces operate at 78 percent efficiency or better; some high-efficiency natural gas heating systems use 98 percent of their energy input. With the array of choices available today, each household can choose an AFUE to meet their needs.
When outside temperatures drop, many homeowners find that an electric heat pump is less effective at heating the house than a natural gas furnace. Air circulated by a natural gas furnace can be as much as 25 degrees warmer than that of an electric heat pump.
