Learn More About Water Heaters
Heating water is one of the biggest energy users in most homes. It uses about 18% of a typical home's total energy use, behind only heating and cooling.
Every Pearl SCORE™ Report includes guidance on water heaters:
- How to identify what type it is
- Why it matters
- How long it typically lasts
The SCORE™ Report focuses on the most common water heater setups. It does not cover every type. Some homes have less common setups, like an indirect water heater. The Report may not answer every question about those.
