Smart appliances make our lives easier. When you replace your old water heater with a new one with smart controls, you’ll experience several benefits, including energy savings. Here is what you can expect.
How Smart Water Heaters Cut Energy Usage
Traditional tank water heaters must maintain a continuous supply of hot water, which results in significant energy waste. Smart water heaters only produce warm water when needed. The controls in these units allow you to specify heating cycles through apps, timers, and sensors to reduce energy usage.
Innovative Features of Smart Water Heaters
When you install a smart water heater, you’ll receive comprehensive control of water heating capabilities from your smartphone or computer through an accompanying app. One of the most significant ways smart water heaters save money is by limiting the time they take to heat water.
These features include the following:
- On-demand response capabilities to reduce usage during peak periods
- Synchronization with demand use programs
- Real-time energy consumption monitoring
- Time-of-use plans to alter heating cycles
- Energy usage alerts and notifications
- Load-shifting capabilities to coordinate with other appliances
- Automated energy-saving routines
Adaptive Learning and Scheduling
Smart water heater sensors track your usage patterns. They learn your schedule and adapt heating cycles to your needs. This feature provides hot water when needed but not constantly, especially during low-demand hours. In addition, you’ll get exact energy use, analytics, and system status in real time so you can monitor performance and detect unusual spikes.
Energy Usage Insights
The information provided by your smart water heater can give you insight into how your water usage impacts your energy bills. When you analyze this data, you can understand your hot water usage patterns and make informed water and energy conservation decisions.
Cost Savings When Your Home Is Vacant
A smart water heater can save you considerable money if you take frequent vacations or if your home is vacant for significant periods. Smart controls can also keep your water heater working at a low level.
You can program your water heater to turn on before your home is occupied so you have a ready supply of heated water when you or a renter occupies the property. As usage patterns change, your heater can adapt by running at a low level.
