Want Smaller Water-Heating Bills? Buy a Solar Water Heater for Your Home in Melbourne, FL
A tried-and-true way for you to eliminate sky-high water heating bills is to have a solar water heater installed in your home in Melbourne, Florida. Though more expensive than a conventional unit that utilizes gas or electricity, a solar water heating system can pay for itself in as quickly as four to eight years through a reduction in your water heating expenses. After that payback period is over, all of the heated water that your solar water heating system produces will be free.
Factors that can influence how long the payback period lasts include the following:
- The cost of the system
- How much sunlight you receive (which will be a lot in sunny Melbourne, FL)
- How much heated water your family consumes
- The cost of alternative fuel sources
- The availability of governmental incentives for making improvements in your home’s energy efficiency
An important side benefit to investing in a solar water heater is that doing so will allow you to reduce the size of your carbon footprint. That’s because solar energy is an unlimited natural resource that doesn’t pollute the environment. Conventional water heaters, alternatively, are responsible for much of the carbon dioxide that enters the earth’s atmosphere every year and contributes to the problem of climate change.
