An electric water heater can account for up to 25% of a home’s energy bill. The United States Department of Energy recommends setting a residential water heater to 120°F to reduce energy usage and to help prevent scalding. Each 10°F reduction in water temperature can save 3% to 5% on an energy bill. Save energy and help make the home safer by reducing the water heater's thermostat. Keep in mind that a heat pump water heater can reduce your water heating usage by as much as 75%. Learn more about our heat pump water heater incentives.
