Still to come.........did you know that hot water is the third biggest consumer of electricity in your home?

After the break our expert over at synergy home will give us great tips on water heater maintenance and energy efficiency......was synergy home and one of the and this space age looking thinr heater on the market an electric water heaters tied together, which is a huge energy hog and we pulled the two out and combined it into one, super high efficient water heater.

Jamie clark: this water heater is made out of a similar material as a yeti cooler.

If you're familiar with the yeti coolers, you can put a bag of ice in a yeti and seven days later, you've still got ice.

We actually had a customer a couple of years ago that lost power and three days later, they were still taking hot showers with no electricity.

Jamie clark: so, this particular one is 85 gallons.

We've got the ability to go up to 105 gallons, and it reduces the storage part of your energy consumption by 70%.

Most people don't realize that hot water is the third biggest consumer of electricity in your home.

So making sure we've got the best, most efficient hot water heater, is a large way of helping you get your home more efficient, but also having the capacity so your family doesn't run out of hot water is really important.

Because of the high efficiency of this water heater, we can go up to 85 gallons.
