Save energy and money with Westinghouse Water Heating’s high efficiency heating products. It’s simple. The more efficient the heating system, the less energy is needed to heat your home – and the more money you save monthly on your heating bill!

According to Energy Star, heating water accounts for about 15% of a home’s energy use. Westinghouse Water Heating high efficiency water heaters consume anywhere from 10-50% less energy than standard models. For example: an Westinghouse Water Heating's residential gas water heater has a 97% efficiency rating – that means that 97 cents of every dollar is used toward heating compared to a standard efficiency unit with 60% which only provides 60 cents worth of energy toward heating.

Built-to-last hot water

This stainless steel heater is the best hot water heater I've owned so far. I've installed conventional hot water heaters lined with glass only to have them develop leaks within a couple years. A ten-year water heater warranty does not cover labor, so if you have my bad luck with glass-lined hot water heaters, you will end up paying more money in labor to maintain and replace glass-lined heaters over time. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra few hundred dollars for a stainless steel hot water heater. This heater is also compact so it fits narrow spaces but it is a bit taller.

Although it is quite pricey I believe in paying for lower maintenance. Ordering and shipment was very easy. Communication from Westinghouse (or their rep) was very professional and prompt. I received the unit within a week. The heater was well package for shipment by common carrier. The unit seems well made by professionals. I would give it 5 stars but since it is new I can't comment on longevity. If it lasts as it should I will consider this a great purchase.

While reading through high efficiency water heating articles, I came across these tips from Energy.gov. I thought it would be a good read for Westinghouse Water Heating's blog followers! For more information visit www.energy.gov.

Water heating is the second largest energy expense in your home. It typically accounts for about 18% of your utility bill after heating and cooling.

There are four ways to cut your water heating bills: use less hot water, turn down the thermostat on your water heater, insulate your water heater, or buy a new, more efficient model.

Water Heating Tips:

• Install aerating, low-flow faucets and showerheads
• Repair leaky faucets promptly; a leaky faucet wastes gallons of water in a short period of time.
• Set the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F to get comfortable hot water for most uses.
• Insulate your electric hot-water storage tank but be careful not to cover the thermostat. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Insulate your natural gas or oil hot-water storage tank but be careful not to cover the water heater's top, bottom, thermostat, or burner compartment. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations; when in doubt, get professional help.
• Insulate the first 6 feet of the hot and cold water pipes connected to the water heater.
• Install heat traps on the hot and cold pipes at the water heater to prevent heat loss. Most new water heaters have built-in heat traps.
• Drain a quart of water from your water tank every 3 months to remove sediment that impedes heat transfer and lowers the efficiency of your heater. Follow the manufacturer's directions.

Although most water heaters last 10-15 years, it's best to start shopping now for a new one if yours is more than 7 years old. Doing some research before your heater fails will enable you to select one that most appropriately meets your needs.

Long-Term Savings Tips:

Buy a new energy-efficient water heater. While it may cost more initially than a standard water heater, the energy savings will continue during the lifetime of the appliance. Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels. You can find the ENERGY STAR label on efficient water heaters in the following categories: high efficiency gas non-condensing, gas condensing, electric heat pump, gas tankless, and solar.

• Consider natural gas on-demand or tankless water heaters, which heat water directly without using a storage tank. Researchers have found energy savings can be up to 30% compared with a standard natural gas storage tank water heater.
• Consider installing a drain-water waste heat recovery system. Drain-water, or greywater, heat recovery systems capture the energy from waste hot water -- such as showers and dishwashers -- to preheat cold water entering the water heater or going to other water fixtures. Energy savings vary depending on individual household usage.
• Heat pump water heaters can be very cost effective in some areas. Heat pump water heaters can cut water heating costs by an average of 50% over standard electric water heaters. If your water heater is located in your basement, it will also provide dehumidification in the summer months. However, this technology can pose some installation challenges, so you should consult with an installer before you purchase one.

Average Hot Water Usage:

Faucets and appliances can use a lot of hot water, which costs you money. Look for ways to heat your water more efficiently and use less.

Solar Water Heaters:

If you heat water with electricity, have high electric rates, and have an unshaded, south-facing location (such as a roof) on your property, consider installing a solar water heater. The solar units are environmentally friendly and you can have them installed on your roof to blend with the architecture of your house.

Solar water heating systems are also good for the environment. Solar water heaters avoid the greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity production. When shopping for a solar water heater, look for the Energy Star label and for systems certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation or the Florida Solar Energy Center.

Westinghouse Water Heating's boilers have ultra high efficiency, providing greater potential for energy savings. Below is an article from Industrial Boilers on three good reasons to switch to a condensing boiler.              

A condensing boiler is a unique kind of boiler that uses a different process to heat the water that creates the steam. A condensing boiler works similarly to an air conditioner, which reuses the condensation from the steam to create more heat, which creates further steam in the boiler. This form of boiler is more efficient than other, traditional styles of boilers.

There are a variety of reasons why a factory would benefit from using a condensing boiler. Firstly, because of their unique heating process, condensing boilers are more efficient than other types of boilers. This leads to a variety of benefits for the factory, including reduced energy use, lower energy bills, and a reduction in the factory’s carbon footprint. Secondly, the boiler releases less carbon emissions into the air. This is a huge benefit for a factory looking to cut down on their emissions overall to meet new environmental guidelines or just to reduce their impact on the surrounding environment.

Some governments may also offer discounts and tax breaks to companies that introduce greener products into their factories. Condensing boilers meet the profile and can help any company become more environmentally friendly.

Condensing boilers are also easier to maintain than traditional boilers. The design of the boilers also make them less likely to have problems like leaks, explosions, or sudden pressure changes. The condensing system also helps prevent an overabundance of water consumption, which is also beneficial to the factory’s pocketbook and any nearby water source.
