- Why solar water heating?
- Anyone living in Florida knows their electric bills go through the roof
during July, August and September and don’t need to be told that air
conditioning uses a lot of electricity. On the other hand, while you may
use allot less air conditioning during the winter month March, April and
November, your water heater has a 4,500-watt heating element in the hot
water tank burning away every day of the year. At today’s electric rates—including
fuel surcharges and utility taxes—of around 15 cents per kilowatt hour,
water heating can easily cost $800 to $1,200 each year for a three- to
five-person household. Living in South Florida, an Ezinc Solar
Thermosiphon water heater can
eliminate the second largest
portion of your electric
bill.
