Solar Water Heaters
Solar Water Heater Installation San Antonio TX
ENERGY STAR qualified solar water heating systems can cut annual hot water costs in half and can be used with gas or electric back-up water heaters. At Guarantee Plumbing & Air Conditioning, Inc. we can provide you with expert recommendations and installation of cost saving solar water heaters that are right for your home.
Unlike electricity and natural gas, sunlight is free. Using it to heat your water with a qualified solar water heater can cut your water heating bills in half and reduce your carbon footprint, allowing you to save while ‘going green’ in your home.
Savings with Solar Water Heater Systems
By using sunlight to heat your water, even with a gas water heater as a backup, you can save tons of money, and more with an electric tank water heater for backup. Just as important is the fact that you’ll have less of a negative impact on the environment. Water heated by the sun saves strain on the environment, and while the investment can take about 10 years to pay for itself, you can also take advantage of Federal tax credits of 30% without top limits, which help you recuperate the price you pay more quickly. If you invest in an ENERGY STAR qualified solar water heater, you not only cut the amount of carbon dioxide emissions released into the atmosphere by half – you are also paid dividends.
Energy Reduction
Installing a solar water heater as your main source of heated water can reduce your electricity usage by almost 2,500 kWh annually, preventing an additional 4,000 pounds of carbon dioxide that would otherwise enter the air we breathe. To put that total in perspective, it equals the same as not driving your car for 4 months a year!
Longevity
Solar water heater systems last longer than other types of water heaters. The average lifespan of a qualified solar water heating system is 20 years. That’s 10 years of value beyond the typical life of a gas or electric water heater.
