Here we go again, right after the dipshit testified on the Hill this week about energy standards on stoves (the one who didn't know what it took to replace a gas oven with electric).
I wonder how they'll achieve this by simultaneously banning gas (as they're doing here on the left coast)...

Remember. When the government gets involved, everything usually turns to ****.

They did this a few years back. The only way to increase efficiency is to super insulate the heater. They did this and the price of an electric hot water heater jumped from $200 to $400. But there is an even bigger issue. The heaters became larger. And they often no longer fit in the spaces that were designed for them. And the spaces can’t always be resigned as there might not be any room to do so.
The difference in putting more insulation in them is going to be extremely minuscule as they are already close to the max. And the price will jump even more.
These authorities just love to come up with ways to push their authority. They are really causing pain out in the real world. Soon many people will have to go without hot water.

People have such short memories”
“The higher the EF, the more energy efficient the appliance. In April of 2015, the Department of Energy updated minimum standards for EF ratings on virtually all gas, electric, propane, and oil fired water heaters. These new water heater efficiency standards could change your next water heater purchase.”

And the condensing heaters need all kinds of fancy flues to exit the condensed leavings.

The government does not do anything to benefit the working people, so this is obviously bogus.

Whatever happened to those solar hot water systems they had back in the 70’s?

“Water heating is responsible for roughly 13% of both annual residential energy use and consumer utility costs”
If you added up all these percentages they cite, I wonder what it would come out to.

SOOOOOOOOOOO—IF I read this correctly-—NOW they WANT gas fired water heaters—NOT electric???

As far as I can tell, "energy efficient" is achieved by lowering the "power" of whatever appliance you are using. The last electric stove that I got was "energy efficient". It now takes more than 30 minutes to get a pot of water to boil in order to cook some pasta. With the new washing machine and dryer that are "energy efficient", it now takes me most of the day to wash/dry 2-3 loads of clothes.
I hate "greenies".
