New models utilize hybrid electric\/heat, solar, and even condensed gas. On average, water heaters can account for 17 percent of your home\u2019s energy use. Upgrading to these types of units can cut utility bills by 25 to 50 percent, which is good news for homeowners.<\/p>\n<p>Cost-effective, hybrid units such as the Voltex\u00ae Hybrid Electric Heat Pump can supply hot water for the duration of six consecutive 51-minute showers. By switching to the Voltex\u00ae water heaters, homeowners can save up to $419 compared to the standard electric units. Other models like the Promax\u00ae Power Vent can be easily installed by a professional plumbing contractor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things to look for when purchasing a water heater:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Length of single shower in minutes<\/li>\n<li>Number of showers back-to-back<\/li>\n<li>Number of showers at the same time<\/li>\n<li>Gallons per maximum tub size<\/li>\n<li>Minutes it takes to fill tub<\/li>\n<li>Cost of operations per year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Harrisburg\u2019s HB Home Service Team provides water heater installation in addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/hbmcclure.com\/hbhome\/residential-emergency-service\">24-hour plumbing response<\/a>, seven days a week.
