The hot water inside the coil is distributed through a separate piping system to the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. Properly sized, these &qu[...]

losses, and the energy lost as the unit cycles on and off. T h e higher the EF, the more energy-efficient the water heater is. The federal government uses these ratings in energy conservation programs that set minimum efficiency standards for equipment. The EF ratings for all water heaters manufactured in the United States can be found in the C o n[...]

ral gas water heater with a higher efficiency rating might cost a little more to buy than a gas water heater with a lower E F , but could save you hundreds of dollars over its lifetime in lower operating costs.
