  • How Solar Water Heaters Can Reduce Your Utility Bill

It doesn’t take much digging to see the growing popularity of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. Generating energy from the sun helps reduce reliance on traditional energy and makes for more efficient and affordable energy usage in the home. Solar panels are relatively easy to install and quickly pay for themselves in the vast majority of cases. Solar Water Heaters are also growing in popularity because of their ability to significantly reduce your electricity bill. Here are the facts you need to know so you can make this decision for yourself and your family.

How Much Is Installation and Maintenance?

The cost of solar water heaters is one of the biggest concerns homeowners have and the initial expense involved with installation can vary depending on the size, make and model of the unit, as well as how much it will be used on average each month. The unit and installation can cost several thousand dollars. There are many federal and state stipends and tax breaks offered for installing solar panels and equipment, which can help offset the initial cost of installation, sometimes by as much as 50 percent! Most of the solar water heaters for the home of today last 20 years or more with good care and maintenance. Simply checking for leaks and minor issues with connections and system operations is enough to ensure good operation of the water heater for years to come.  Compared with traditional heating systems, they are much easier to install and maintain!

How Much Reduction is There on Utility Bills?

Again, the amount of savings to be enjoyed will depend on the size and capacity of the system you choose as well as your home’s typical water usage right now. A family of five will see more savings than a family of two simply because they use more water. Solar water heaters can reduce your water heating costs by up to 90%. With savings like that, solar water heaters can pay for themselves very quickly. Another good factor to keep in mind when looking at the savings from solar water heaters is that you will be safe from ever-rising energy bills.

More Reasons Why Solar Water Heating Makes Sense

  • Immediate savings and reductions in energy consumption for your family
  • A smaller carbon footprint and less impact on the environment
  • Increased property value and sales appeal when the time comes to sell your home
  • More reliable source of energy for water heating and usage

“We would highly recommend this company to anyone considering an install!”

We recently contracted with FOR Energy to install a solar system for our home. Sean was tremendous in explaining how the system worked and all the associated process for the install, which went without any problems and would be considered very "user friendly". We would highly recommend this company to anyone considering an install!
