Replacing Your Water Heater

If you need to replace your water heater, consider installing an electric unit. Why? Because electric water heaters generally use less energy than fossil-fuel types.

Natural gas-fired water heaters can not be insulated on the bottom, where the major heat exchange takes place between the gas flame and the metal tank.

But electric heaters don't have that disadvantage. Most are fully insulated on the top, bottom and sides. That means they typically lose less heat when on standby; so water is heated more efficiently -- saving you money.
