Why do I need to upgrade ?
Smud took initiative to convert Sacramento households to electric water heating solutions for your safety. Sacramento valley is positioned in the middle of two mountain ranges and natural gas exhaust tends to stay here. More exact explanation is: ” Byproducts of combustion of natural gas are carbon dioxide and water vapor. Unfortunately natural gas isn’t pure methane, it has other components (called condensates by the petroleum industry). You can see these other components by watching a burning gas flame – methane burns blue, other components burn yellow, orange, red, etc. These other components contribute to pollutants.” As California fights to become a green state, local companies provide incentives to home owners such as this one to better air and life quality in Sacramento region.

TYPES OF WATER HEATERS
CONVENTIONAL WATER HEATERS
– Storage tanks are the most common type of water heater. These consist of an insulated tank in which water is heated and stored until needed. Gas water heaters typically use less energy and cost less to operate but are more difficult to install than electric water heaters. Conventional water heaters should be drained and cleaned a couple of times a year.
Energy efficient water Heaters
– Water heaters are the second highest source of energy usage in the home. A new ENERGY STAR certified gas storage water heater uses 8 percent less energy compared to standard gas storage models. Those energy savings add up to big savings for the environment by helping prevent climate change.
Heat pump water heaters
– are electric storage water heaters that are two to three times as efficient as conventional electric resistance units. Because they remove heat from the surrounding air, they are most effective in warm climates.
Tankless water heaters
– heat water directly without use of a storage tank. Tankless systems produce a limited amount of hot water – a 70F water temperature rise is possible at a flow rate of five gallons per minute through gas water heaters and two gallons per minute through electric water heaters. These are best suited for low – demand or remote applications.
