Water heating is typically your home's third largest energy expense. A new, more efficient water heater can cut that cost, especially if your current water heater is more than seven years old, leaking or constantly needing repair. REC can arrange delivery and installation of a new water heater, as well as give you up to 36 months to pay for it-interest free.
