BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters choose an on-demand water heater instead of a typical tank, in a year the CO2 emissions we'll avert will be equal to planting 1,500 trees.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

The Discovery Channel's MythBusters show confirmed that it is possible for a tank water heater to explode like a rocket, 500 ft into the air.

Is your water heater environmentally demanding?

The Bite

Switch to an on-demand (aka tankless) water heater. These gizmos heat up water quickly, as you need it, instead of drawing from a big heated tank, helping you get a little closer to eco-equilibrium.

 

The Benefits

 

A perfect supply chain. Whenever you turn on the hot-water tap, water instantly flows into the on-demand heater, delivering steamy-hot H2O to the entire house.

Less gross domestic production of CO2. Even if you flunked Econ 101, you can still figure out that you're decreasing emissions; on-demand water heaters use 45%-60% less energy than standard models.

Opportunistic savings. You'll recoup the initial costs in about 10 years, and over 20 years an average household can expect to save up to $1,800 by making the switch.

 

Personally Speaking

When Toshio first moved to SF, he lived in a tiny Victorian with seven roommates, their various girlfriends and boyfriends, two cats, a dog, and a gnarly stench coming from the backyard. He knew it was time to move when some sleeping bags piled next to the water heater caught on fire.
