Solar Water Heaters for Homes in Tampa, FL
Solar water heaters are especially good investments in a place like Tampa, Florida – a city that gets more than 350 days of sunshine a year. Although the initial, upfront cost of a solar water heater is usually higher than the cost of a conventional system, the fuel that it uses to heat water is sunshine, a practically unlimited natural resource that costs nothing to acquire. The truth is, solar water heating systems can operate perfectly fine in just about any climate, making this an investment seriously worth looking into no matter where in the country you live. Solar water heaters offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly means of heating water for a variety of household activities, such as cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and taking a shower.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the average household in Tampa, FL, with an electric water heater allocates a full one-quarter of its energy expenses just to heating water. With that in mind, you can begin to see how switching to a solar water heater can be an economically prudent thing to do. Though savings vary from household to household, the NREL estimates that you can save as much as 50 to 85 percent on your water-heating bills every month by investing in a solar water heater. Factors that can affect how big your dollar amount savings actually are include current fuel prices, water usage habits in the home, and the energy efficiency rating of the solar water heater itself.
