I replaced my electric water heater early in 2004. Looking at the
efficiency label on the old water heater and comparing to the new

for itself in less than 2 years.

Does your utility offer discount rates for an electric hot water
heater that operates only during off peak hours?

When my dad built our house in 1947, he installed a 100 gallon tank
for 3 people that only operated at night.

We always had hot water heated by low cost electricity.
