3 Main Reasons to Choose a Solar Water Heater Instead of an Electric or Gas One

Is it time to replace the water heater at your Daytona Beach home? Perhaps it’s time to think about going solar. At Florida Energy Water & Air, we believe that a solar water heater is the best option for a Florida homeowner. Below, we’ve listed the three main reasons that a solar water heater is a better choice than an electric or gas model.

1. A Solar Water Heater Will Save You Money

While a solar water heater may have a higher purchase price upfront, it will actually cost you less in the long run.

Lower Utility Bills

A solar water heater uses the power of the sun’s natural energy to heat water – not electricity or gas. For homeowners living in communities with abundant sunshine, like Daytona Beach, a solar water heater can drop water heating costs by up to 80% (and sometimes more). And, with water heating accounting for, on average, around 17% of a home’s total energy bill, this can equate to quite a noticeable decrease in your monthly utility bill.

Tax Credits & Rebates

Many types of solar water heaters qualify for rebates and federal tax credits, which help offset their purchase price and make them even more valuable.

2. A Solar Water Heater Is Better for the Environment

Solar water heaters do not burn fossil fuels or emit greenhouse gases. Switching to a solar water heater can dramatically reduce a single family’s carbon footprint – by up to 4,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. That’s equivalent to driving your car 3,000 fewer miles per year.

3. A Solar Water Heater Can Increase the Value of Your Home

Studies have shown that homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes that use solar energy. So, even if you decide to sell your home, you can still expect to see a return on your investment. If you’re considering a solar water heater for your home in Daytona Beach, the experienced solar experts at Florida Energy Water & Air are here to help.

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
