Comfort with Electric Water Heaters

Installing an electric water heater when building or making improvements to your home provides multiple advantages and benefits to you, the member.

Electric water heaters are safe and pose no threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, combustion, or explosion.
Electric water heaters are easy to install and don't require gas lines or exhaust flue.
Electric water heaters do not require venting or duct work, giving you more flexibility for placement.
Electric water heaters are environmentally friendly and capable of using electricity generated from solar, wind, hydroelectricity, and other renewable sources.
Water heaters are lightweight, durable and have superior corrosion resistance.

Through our water heater program, members have the freedom to pick the brand of water heater they desire along with the installer of their choice.

Additional requirements apply to be eligible for rebates and the service plan.

An electric water heater can comprise up to 40 percent of the electricity used in the average American home. Consider trying these tips to help save electricity and water in your home:

Use water sparingly when taking a bath rather than filling the tub full. Keep showers brief.
Take the time to fix any water leaks you may have. Putting a container under a leaky faucet will help you realize how much water you can lose in a day.
Wait to run clothes washers and dishwashers until you have a full load.
Wash clothes in cold water when appropriate.
