Millcreek Plumbing offers a wide selection of electric water heaters. Electric water heaters are one of the most cost-efficient ways to supply hot water. Electric water heater units are relatively low in cost and use heating elements to keep water at temperature. Because they use electricity, there are more options for placement of the tank.

According to consumer reports, “Water heating amounts to nearly 20 percent of a home’s energy costs. As the result of new efficiency standards, water heaters under 55 gallons will see about a 4 percent boost in efficiency, while water heaters 55 gallons or more may cut your utility bills by 25 to 50 percent depending on the technology used”.
