Rheem Marathon water heater

Water heating can account for 14% to 25% of the energy consumed in your home. The good news is that new energy-efficient water heaters use less energy and take less time to heat water.

Reduce your monthly bills by selecting a water heater that not only provides enough hot water, but does so energy efficiently.

Energy-saving tips
  • Make sure your water pipes are insulated, especially at the inlet and outlet of the water heater.
  • Install low-flow, energy saving showerheads of two gallons per minute or less. This is your best hot water saving option. New showerheads are designed to properly disperse water at these flow rates, providing outstanding shower performance.
  • Repair any leaks in your fixtures.
  • Turn the water heater off when you leave on vacation when there is no risk of freezing.
  • Set your clothes washer to rinse with cold instead of warm or hot water. It's a myth that hot water rinses better.
