Eco Friendly Water Heaters
Save Energy and Save Money!
We all know that we spend a lot of money heating our water for domestic use and these days there is a good choice of eco friendly water heaters which use less energy and cost you far less money to run. If you’re still using an electric hot water heater, consider switching to natural gas because that will save you a whole heap of money in the long term.
The new tankless gas and propane are environmentally friendly because they don’t store water kept at a certain temperature like electric hot water heaters. You get instant water heating although the flow rate is lower. To find which are the best eco friendly water heaters, look for ones marked Energy Star certified. This is a government backed initiative which tests new water heaters and certifies them as eco friendly water heaters if they pass certain criteria.
Energy Star criteria cover five categories for residential products: whole house gas tankless, high performance gas storage, advanced drop in or integrated heat pump, gas condensing and solar water heaters. Another good place to find eco friendly heaters is by looking on websites such as Low Impact Living, which lists all the environmentally friendly products and gives useful information. Here’s a rundown of some of the latest eco friendly.
The Gas Condensing Heater is due to be available by the middle of 2010 and it’s worth waiting for because it’s an Energy Star product which will reduce your energy use by about 30%. This would be a minimum saving of about $100 per year of use and would significantly reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Although this eco friendly water heater uses a storage tank, the replacement water reheats nearly as quickly as the tank is filled and you never run out of hot water.
Here are some eco friendly heaters from the gas fueled tankless category:
The Bosch AquaStar Whole House Tankless Gas Water Heater can cut your water heating costs by as much as 50%. Tankless models don’t use energy keeping stored water hot and this makes them good eco friendly. This model only heats water as it’s needed but can supply hot water at a rate of 4.3 gallons per minute, which is sufficient to allow you to use one major water application at a time such as the shower or a dishwasher. When the hot tap is not being used the gas valve closes automatically and the burners go off which saves gas energy.
The Bosch AquaStar 250SX-LP Whole House Tankless Propane Heater supplies instant water heating at a rate of 6.4 gallons per minute which is sufficient for two major appliances to be used at the same time. This model is an eco friendly rated propane heater.

The Bosch 125BO-NG AquaStar Outdoor Whole House Tankless Gas Heater is for outdoor installation and this saves you money on expensive venting components. This instant heater device could cut your heating costs by as much as 50% which makes it an extremely eco-friendly water heater. The hot water is instant and this model provides water at a rate of 4.3 gallons per minute which is only sufficient for one major application at a time. It has a freeze protection rating for temperatures down to 5 Fahrenheit.
Solar water heaters are great eco friendly water heaters if you live in an area which has plenty of continuous sunshine and the modern units are more reliable than they were in the past. They are quite expensive to buy but if you live in a suitable area you should find that prices are going down and choice is expanding.
That just about covers the best eco friendly systems on the market for this year. Try to buy the most environmentally friendly model you can afford because it will pay for itself in the long term by saving the most energy and cutting your bills.
