Go tankless

The tankless water heaters generate heat only when a hot water faucet is opened, so it does not waste energy in "standby" mode. The water passes directly from the heater as it becomes necessary - is not stored in a tank. The tankless heaters can be shower, electric or gas (the gas heaters generally provide greater volume of water), and come in various sizes. You can install a device that meets the whole house or just an appliance - for example the dishwasher. You must considerate that water heating accounts for 15% of the power bill of an average home, so recovering part of this additional cost would come quickly.
