Water Heaters - Electric Vs Gas

Gas vs. Electric Heating

My goal as a water heater advisor is to save you money. How does your water heater relate to your wallet? Most likely, one utility will be less expensive to operate than the other. My guess is most households do not have a preference. The area in which you live might dictate the type of water heater you will install. Certain areas of the country are predominately gas, while others are mainly electric. If you have a choice, hopefully this info will help you decide. You can save from the start by choosing the correct heater for your household.



Assuming you have a choice, how do you choose? Ask yourself if the present heater does a sufficient job. Does it supply enough hot water for your family? If you're replacing an existing water heater, check to see what type you have now. Is it gas, electric or even propane? If your heater has done a good job for your family, why not stay with the same type? Usually that will be an easier and less expensive installation.

What is the Future of Solar Energy?

Solar energy is an unparalleled source of electricity generation in a time of soaring demand and environmental sensitivity.

Thanks to government subsidies and advances in technology, the number and size of solar farms continues to soar. We have harnessed the power of the sun for years to warm our homes, provide light and most recently generate power. Still, solar power is but a small fraction of the U.S. energy mix.
Renewable fuels account for about 7% of energy supplies; of this, only 1% (0r 0.07% of total energy supply) is solar. Nonetheless, solar is getting a boost thanks to tax credits, new technologies and a desire to reduce our reliance on imported and domestic fossil fuels.
Still Solar Power is Pricey
