Finding the Most Cost-Effective Hot Water Heater

What is the most ignored appliance in your home? If you are like most Fort Wayne, Decatur, Angola, Indianapolis, and Greenwood, IN homeowners the answer is simple: Your hot water heater. It’s almost always hidden from view in the basement or a dark utility closet. You go through life blissfully ignorant of what’s happening with that vital appliance.

A Rude Awakening Is Likely

The day will come for most homeowners when that trusted water heater springs a leak or simply stops heating water resulting in cold showers. Masters Heating & Cooling wants to make sure you look at all options when it’s time for a hot water heater replacement. Just as with many other appliances and HVAC equipment, there is a new energy efficient choice in hot water heaters that will lower utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Thinking Outside The Box

Masters urges you to consider a heat pump water heater. Yes, you heard me right, the heat pump technology that economically heats and cools millions of homes is now available in a cost-effective hot water heater . Just a quick refresher with some talking points on heat pump technology:

• It is all electric but doesn’t use electricity to create heat.
• The electricity powers a compressor that squeezes heat from the outside air.
• Even when the outside temperature feels cool there is still heat in the air.

When you add it up, a heat pump hot water heater will save the average four-person household in Fort Wayne, Decatur, Angola, Indianapolis, or Greenwood, IN about $350 a year on electrical bills.

Masters Can Help You Decide

I want to emphasize; heat pump water heaters aren’t the only choice for cost-effective hot water. A tankless system, gas or electric, will also cut energy use when compared to a tank-style hot water heater…just not as much as a heat pump system. So, what’s best for your home? Call Masters Heating & Cooling to schedule a no-obligation estimate and we’ll show you all the options to help you decide. Just don’t ignore that old hot water heater too much longer or you could be singing the cold water blues.
