Water Heating

Focus on Energy provides instant discounts on select water heating equipment. Ask your Trade Ally contractor if they work with a participating distributor and if the water heater you are choosing qualifies for an instant discount.

Focus on Efficient Water Heating

Water heaters account for almost 20% of the energy used in the average home—more than a refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer combined. An efficient water heater can save homeowners up to $300 per year.

Signs It's Time for an Upgrade

Your water heater is more than 10 years old.
You notice your hot water isn’t lasting as long as it used to.
You see rust or discoloration in your water.
You notice water is leaking from the tank.
You start to hear rumbling noises coming from your water heater.

Instant discounts are paid to the participating distributor and passed through your contractor, onto you. No forms. No waiting for a check in the mail. The discount comes off your invoice at time of purchase.

Tankless Water Heaters

Natural gas tankless water heaters heat water as it is needed and for as long as you need it, helping to save 25%-50% in water heating costs over a standard tank-type heater. These water heaters don’t have a tank, so they are less susceptible to leaks and they have a more compact design.
