Did you know that water heating accounts for about 13% of your utility bill? In this Huddle, you'll find electric water heaters that are about 5% more efficient, with Energy Factors (EF) of less than .94, and gas water heaters that are 12% more efficient than standard models with EFs of no less than .65 (and yes, we know that you can get bigger gains with tankless and solar technologies but tell that to the 9.8 million households who went with storage heaters in 2006).
