New water heaters get efficiency boost in April

The Department of Energy has released new standards

April 15, 2015

On April 16, 2015, water heater manufacturers must comply with new Department of Energy (DOE) standards. The most common water heaters manufactured on and after this date will get a modest boost in efficiency. Units over 55 gallons will shift to next-generation technology, cutting utility bills by one-fourth to one-half depending on the technology.
