Are there even more types of alternative-power water heaters available?

Sounds like a good presentation. I am wondering if the question about costs included 'total cost of ownership' which would factor in the ongoing costs of operation. This is an important point and is easily confused by most clients.

Valerie - there are a variety of different products on the market.  But you'll want to check track records, pricing, and maintanence before making a decision.  We're focusing on solar and tankless water heaters as our most popularly requested options.

Mary - we hope to see the cost of solar continue to decrease.  Right now the tax credits that are available for homeowners after purchase can make a big difference.  Consult your tax professional to see exactly how much you can lower your overall cost by!

John - We recommend a personal session with Southern Energy Management.  They are multiple industry award winners and really take care of their clients, including answering all these types of questions.
