How a Solar Water Heating System Can Help Tampa Homeowners “Go Green”
More and more Tampa residents are embracing the idea of “going green” by implementing more environmentally friendly practices in their homes. If you’re interested in reducing your household’s carbon footprint but aren’t sure where to start, one of the best things to consider is your family’s energy usage. Did you know that, on average, water heating accounts for around 12 percent of a household’s monthly energy bill? That’s the second-largest portion of energy use next to heating and cooling the home, which is why making the switch to a solar water heating system is a great step toward going green.
Environmental Benefits of a Solar Water Heating System
Whether your current water heater is powered by gas or electricity, generating power to run it emits carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. When you use a solar water heating system, you’re using a natural, sustainable source of energy – the sun – to heat your home’s water, which means you’re releasing less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. To put this in perspective, depending on the size of your family, the amount of water your household uses, and the temperature you set your water heater for, this could equate to around 4,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year or more. That’s equivalent to driving your car 3,000 fewer miles per year.
Financial Benefits of a Solar Water Heating System
The benefits of switching to a solar water heating system are not only environmental but also financial. Don’t be turned off if the initial cost of a solar water heater is higher than an electric or gas system—most solar water heaters qualify for rebates and federal tax credits, significantly reducing that expense. Plus, installing one can dramatically reduce your monthly water heating cost, often by as much as 85 percent.

From what I saw in the beginning and the end, there was a huge difference. It was a job well done. It worth my time and money. And everyone should give it a try.
Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.
The experience with all aspects from the presentation to installation and inspection was great. Glenn who presented was kind, informative and extremely helpful in finding the right system for us. The installer Robinson was extremely professional with the installation did a great job and John was also great in explaining the finance and perks!! Overall 10/10
This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.
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.
Great customer service. Jean Amaro was especially helpful and took care of my issues and concerns personally. Technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services.
