Do you realize you are paying to heat water 24 hours a day? You are if you have a standard water heater. A tankless water heater is a much more energy efficient way to heat water and it provides an endless supply of hot water for your entire home. You don't have to heat and reheat a reserve of water sitting in your hot water tank.
Tankless water heaters are up to 50 percent more energy efficient than a traditional natural gas water heater and up to 70 percent more efficient than an electric water heater. They turn off automatically when hot water is not needed. The units are great space savers too because they are small and mounted to the wall. One of the products I am most familiar with is Rinnai. They are easy to install and my clients have been extremely happy with them. This is an excellent first step toward adopting a "Build Green" philosophy in your home.

Tankless Water Heaters
Green your home with Solar Panels
A solar hot water or heating system is an excellent investment for home owners. It can utilize your current water heater or furnace, but the energy is generated by pollution-free solar panels on your roof rather than through gas or electricity.
Solar energy is also becoming more price competitive. For example, a $12,000 investment can place 2 solar panels on your roof to heat your hot water. Government programs can help subsidize this cost and offset it by almost $5,000. As energy prices continue to rise, this option will save in utility expenses over and over as well as reduce our dependence on natural gas and electricity.
