Today’s high efficiency appliances do more work with less energy than ever before – but that doesn’t mean you can’t make small changes to squeeze a little more performance out of them.
That’s especially true of your water heater. What kind of changes are we talking about? Let’s take a look.

The good news is with some simple adjustments, you can stay on the low end of that number. Here are five suggestions to get more water heating bang for your buck in your New Jersey home:
Of course, you could also replace your storage-type heater with a propane tankless water heater, which heats water on demand rather than storing it for later use; then you wouldn’t have to worry at all about standby heat loss.
