Green Tip For The Week

Install a "tankless" water heater to save as much at 50% of the cost of heating your water.  These space-saving, highly energy-efficient heaters burn energy only when you need hot water.  This eliminates standby heat loss, which can be as high as 3 - 4 percent every hour for water heaters linked to a storage tank.
